[Blindtlk] [nfb-talk] [nfbcs] Fwd: World's firstWeb-basedaccessibilitytool

[Brian Miller]

Thanks Josh -- I hope you are right.  I didn't think there were firm figures
on it yet, and the Freedom Box (or whatever it's called now) cost nearly
$300 for the first year and it isn't as comprehensive a program as the SA to
Go appears to be.

Anyway, as I say, I hope you are right -- $129 isn't too bad.

Brian
