all of the units currently on the market are programmable ONLY via an
on-screen display, which I cannot read. Does anyone know of a unit which is
programmable by buttons (like my current "old" unit), or is operated by
voice commands?

Sun and IBM are talking about making Java Accessible, not just Applets
(Java programs in a browser). Chucks "solution" is not. Java is for
all platforms; Chucks proposal is for Windows. [...]41_28Oct199700:00:[log in to unmask] 9710D 63 13 8_Re: VCRs9_Mark [log in to unmask], 28 Oct 1997 02:24:35 -0500185_- I have one that is programmed by remote. I have remembered the location of
the buttons and do it that way. Make sure it is SAP as well for the
discripted videos

That is simply untrue. Active Accessibility for Java will work in any
platform that supports Java.

Subject: Announcing Updated Firefox 3 RPMs


The rpm builds of Firefox 3 available from the
SpeakupModified-Development yum repository have been updated. These rpms
are for installations of Fedora Core 6 (Linux) or the forthcoming Fedora
Core 7 currently under development. They are based on Mozilla downloades
from December 27 and include current state-of-the-art accessibility
support. You can retrieve both source and binary rpm packages via ftp,
http, or rsync. But the best way to keep your Firefox 3 updated is to
use yum.

WARNING: This is an early alpha build of Firefox. It is known to
conflict with yelp and devhelp. You will probably need to remove these,
and perhaps other rpms in order to install Firefox 3. Please note also
that support for Firefox 3 in both Orca and LSR is still under active
development, as is also the accessibility support within Firefox itself.

To use yum with the Speakup Modified Fedora rpm package repository, you
must first configure your system to access our repository. You will need
do this only once. Become root on your FC6 system and issue the
following command:

rpm -iv http://SpeakupModified.Org/speakupmodified-release.rpm

Thereafter, to update Firefox 3, become root and issue the following
command all on one line:

yum --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=speakupmodified-development update firefox
