Re: No ZX Spectrum laptop

Chuckle, but of course i am stuck with just a few readers that screenreaders 
work with. The main issue for me is that of the serial access and poor ways 
to edit the quoted text in screenreaders as well. its really not easy when 
no mouse is used. Many can just run down with the mouse highlighting lines 
as they go, etc, and can see when the reply is coming up when scrolling. 
Blind have to listen to all the quotes, or cursor up and down to find the 
bit burried in quotes that is new to them.
 Its a totally different ethos. Imagine the mouse had not been invented and 
your screen only had a couple of lines.
