My apologies about providing some inaccurate information in my posting
regarding the Windows Vista demonstration that was done at the ACB BITS
meeting earlier this month.

I mistakenly said that Rob Sinclair was doing the demo, and Gary Moulton
was introducing.  In fact, Rob Sinclair was not present at this
presentation, but was at the NFB convention giving a similar
demonstration.

My apologies and thanks to an old friend for pointing it out to me.

Greetings GUI-talk!

The ACB presentation given by Rob Sinclair (Director, Accessible
Technology Group at Microsoft), is available at this location:

<ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/convention2006/microsoft.mp3>

That's the full path to the file itself.  It's 20MB file.  Depending on
your computer configuration, you can download the file to your machine,
or if using Windows Media Player it should start streaming and playing
nearly immediately.

If you get stumped, copy the above address, open the Windows Media
Player, and press CTRL+U to invoke the "Open URL" dialog.  Paste the
above address in and press Enter.

This is a raw recording of the live presentation at the ACB convention
in Jacksonville.  There is much banter and off-topic discussion with the
host and others.  Just before 15 minutes into the recording, the meeting
starts.  There is some introduction material and some business
discussed.

At 18 minutes, Gary Moulton, a Product Manager in Rob's group, comes on
and introduces the Windows Vista presentation.

Here are some more links to information about accessibility in Windows
Vista.

I've copied the following to my clipboard and pasted it to my desk top
and nothing happens.  Which portion is the file and will it work if I
paste it to the desk top or do I need to paste it to a particular
folder?  thanks
