No, the problem is, that I have to work on the textbased console if I want to use linux, becouse there is no screenreader (speech or brailleoutput) for totaly blind people which makes the grafical enviroment (kde etc.) accessible. So I have to use for example lynx to visit websites, but lynx has no support for javascript. There are windowsscreenreaders who can handle javascript (for example jaws), but I don't want to use windows to much ;-). Linux is a perfect system for blind computerusers and even if you are restricted on the textbased enviroment you can do many things better than on m$-systems und there are a lot of very good programms (for example mutt ;-)). There are only to big problems for my: The first is the webbrowser and the second is an officeaplication wich is compartible with the ms-office (I sometimes hav to write text in word for my job).
