hello Everett,

would you, or anyone else on this list, have a similar list of applications
for business management, accounting, inventory management, bookkeeping, and
bank account management (other than MS money),  that work well with screen
readers?

I know of a couple people, including myself that joined this list to find
out about this very topic, and am wondering if such a list exists as of yet?

regards,
