Hello:

     I have tried the Virgo product from Baum and am trying to get the Slimware
bridge product up.
I like the idea of being able to "look" around the screen. That is what sighted
people do with Windows. Windows tries to simulate a desktop on which you have
various items such as a notepad, calculator, calendar, clock wordprocessor
etc. The idea is that you use these items on your desk and so who not have them
on a computer. Macintosh computers take this metaphore further by calling
directories folders and by doing things like deleting a file by "draging"
it (with a mouse) to the "trash". In fact you can get files out of the trash
just like you can dig paper out of a wastebasket. Emptying the trash does
delete the data.
