Well, if it will run Windows applications, and if we have a lot more $$$
than we know what to do with, we could see how easy it would be to force
jaws or window eyes to work with it.  Also, there is an open source screen
reader in the early planning stages that is supposed to work with windows,
but it may be able to be adapted to work with Lycorus.
