Greetings! I'm a blind person. I presently use Windows 2000, with JAWS (produced by a company called Freedom Scientific), as my "screen reader" to give me in speech output what's on the screen. My love of Windows and the variable access to the programs that run under it is such that I intend to get a Linux box. My present notion is to use Debian.
I have had no trouble checking out your site until late last week. From WWW.DEBIAN.ORG, I followed the Packages link, then the link for viewing stable packages. When I tried then to follow the link for the development tools that come in what I presume to be the latest package, my speech died. This happened four times, and I think only once was I able to avoid a cold reboot. (The speech didn't just die there, but wiped out wholesale.) Because I hoped this might result from my set-up here on the job, I tried again from home over the weekend. My speech output died again, so dead it made Whitey Bulger's many victims seem alive and in ecstasy. I'll be very grateful if you can tell me what might cause that link in particular to give my speech output the death penalty. I don't know whether your site has any other links that might do the same, but as I said, I've found none so far. Thank you for whatever information and suggestions you may have for dealing with this. Al Sten-Clanton
