It is a very mouse oriented system which is probably bad. By mouse oriented, I mean a lot of the user interface can only be interacted with a mouse. On the other side, acme is text oriented and rio serves files with the (text) contents of the window. Both can probably be tweaked a little so that an external program (which has yet to be written/ported) reads aloud stuff or prints things out through a Braille line, but to my knowledge this hasn't been done. -- - curiosity sKilled the cat
