Re: [Blind-Computing] Silverlight program question
Hey Mike I'm sure someone explained to you already how it works, but its MS's version of Flash. Silver Light 4 should be coming out very soon from what I've read. They do bug you about installing it on there sites and there are some sites that require it. Lino Morales Remember, friends don't let friends go to hell.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Silverlight program question
Hi, I had to install this program to watch the stream of the Van Cliburn competition and found the program totaly inaccessible to a blind user. Not sure if it was the program or the interface the web people were using with that stream. Just my experience.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Silverlight program question
Hi Mike. Though I can't say what it may do for a sighted person, I didn't find it useful to this blind person. I installed it so I could hear a football game last Saturday night and had no success with the program.
