>>a little belatedly, and with no intention to devalue Albert's generosity 
>>in
>> posting this article, I'd like to register one disappointment with the
>> article itself. now, I know that someone has said that the article's a 
>> bit
>> out of date in some way or other, and that Facebook's design has moved on
>> during the intervening months.
>>
>> Okay. I have no way to know just in which ways the article's explanations
>> may be outdated. But one thing I have to say is that the fact that it
>> explains everything from the perspective of a Window eyes user makes its
>> explanations  almost an unsought extra burden on my poor mind as I try to
>> figure out this pretty complicated Web site and service, hoping at least
>> to
>> use it in a minimal way. If only the article talked about navigating the
>> site and its functions using jaws, I'd already have absorbed some new
>> sense
>> of how to get around it after the one reading I did yesterday or whenever
>> it
>> was that Albert posted it. But as it was, nothing stayed with me, and
>> Lloyd's informative suggestions and this article still sit in my Inbox,
>> waiting for me to have the time and enough mental power of concentration
>> to
>> read them all over again and try to apply something I learn to using
>> Facebook, just one step at a time, as the article recommends. This is 
>> just
>> pretty discouraging, even though I hesitate to give up too easily.
>>
>> That's all. just had to vent about it. I know there are a lot of Window
>> Eyes
>> folks on this list, and I don't begrudge them their choice of screen
>> reader.
>> But I don't know anything about WE and I can't just translate the screen
>> reader comments into Jaws ideas as I go. it's just too much to deal with.
>>
>> Hoping to pick myself up and try again, of course. What's life without a
>> little challenge?
