I forgot to answer the screen reader question. I hadn't rebooted in a
while, and I forgot that the work around Chrys put in place for Fenrir
does really well until the screen fills up. So, right after I sent the
message saying it was working better, it reverted to doing its weird
jumps and things caused by the bug. Now that the correct version is
actually running, it really is better.

Thanks,
Storm
