[Nfbkabs] Meeting: A. Computer Chats

[Faith Manion]

As far as messenger goes it is pretty easy to use.  You just type in your 
message and then all messages appear in a box that can be read by using JAWS 
keyboard commands.  The only major issue I have encountered is ensuring that 
the version of messenger you are using supports the version of JAWS on your 
computer.  Otherwise, it works good.
