Hi Ken,
I look forward to the site. I can navigate your Vanagain.com <http://vanagain.com/> site better then most and certainly better then the Samba. My talking software is just not up to the structure of this site. As a blind person using a screen reader I really appreciate a well designed up to date site. Your work is excellent.
Having multiple strong resources on the web would be a good thing.
I appreciate your efforts.
