[gui-talk] NBP-Announce: Internet Explorer 8 with Jaws, Window-Eyes, and System Access

[David Andrews]

Well I would say that this is more a marketing thing with National 
Braille Press.  They started offering these things, years ago, first 
only in Braille, so they really were Braille equivalents of a 
reference card.  And other formats have been added but the name stuck.
