Re: [orca-list] Skype for Linux

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Yes, this sounds terrible as indeed there were issues with the website when I tried the web interface.
Also I do most of my skyping with cli helpers in a Linux VT or terminal emulator.
Not that I need or use skype that much, but...and I can use it accessibly on my android phone, but this is 
yet another reminder of how little respect 
Linux gets as a consumer, or end user OS. 
Maybe the website can be made fully accessible and functional for us Orca users, and while I'm not exactly 
jumping up and down with excitement over the 
"web-app revolution", I can deal with em if they work accessibly...
Thanks for the quoted material.
