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

but it may be able to be adapted to work with Lycorus.

speaker of intuitive likes".
