I tried meebo.com and it worked, but very slow to start and gave timeouts on scripts. I think the display was perfect, whereas in earlier versions of RO FF it wasn't.

The biggest problem isn't the speed, but the fact that it locks the entire machine when it's busy.

Were it a tad slower but left the rest of the machine usable, it would be far more useful. (ie let it get on with the sites netsurf can't do, in its own time, while I look at the rest with NS.)

  • Prototype affordable Braille display in development
    A low-cost computer-controlled Braille board has been prototyped by a RISC OS-using university student. Undergraduate Edward Rogers hopes to sell his completed units for as little as 200 quid each to schools and families to allow more blind children to continue learning Braille. And he said he wanted to launch his venture using RISC OS-powered kit before offering a package for other platforms.
