That's interesting Mike. A ZoomText user I have worked with has the opposite
opinion, and finds the tooltips associated with 'title' attributes to be
annoying because they cover a lot of the screen. It can be difficult to get
rid of them if you don't know which element they are associated with.

Whether they are a benefit or a hindrance probably depends on the
magnification level (he uses x4) and whether speech is enabled (he only uses
it for long blocks of text).
