And lets take a look at what Apple did with the current version of Itunes.
It's not nearly as accessible as it was in version 11.

Well said John. I agree with you 100 percent. We all have problems with
accessibility, in one way or another. While we can bitch and moan about it, we
also have to adapt to today's world. Just my thoughts on this.

I agree with Chris to a point. We have more accessible programs than in the

Whenever I activate the spelling checker by using the context menu key

Could you provide hints on how to best use outlook 365?
