Article: [oats-sig] Ubuntu Accessibility Options

I don't think I can add a great deal at the moment to this thread. 
Henrik seems to have everything covered. The Accessibility documentation 
in the Ubuntu wiki is fairly explicit. The new facility to boot the live 
CD with accessibility options seems to work OK, although the screen 
magnifier doesn't appear to work correctly on any of my three machines 
(one CRT screen, one LCD screen and one laptop). Instead of splitting 
the screen in half down the middle, a small magnified area appears in 
top centre and many of the screen icons disappear. Also the gnopernicus 
command centre is hidden behind the magnified area and can't be 
accessed. I tried the Virtual Magnifier that is listed on the Oats site 
and this has potential. I have left a note on the relevant page for this.
