		Perfect.  Don't run any pre-compiled binaries, guys.  You'll soon find 
yourself applying for a G-Mail account, and half-way through the 
application be asked to verify what your screen-reader program is saying 
and doing at that moment.  I don't mind at all telling anyone that I'm 
blind if asked.  I do mind someplace like Google breaking into my system 
past both hardware and software firewalls with my browser having all Java 
support supposedly turned off, and having them poke around in my software 
listing to see what I'm running.  Better start downloading sourcecode while 
it's still open-source.  Sheesh.  Kiss stability g'bye, too.
