Hi John

I cant agree about the accessibility factor of IToons, but every time
I open IToons I get tol there is a new version and wehn I go to the
site I cannot for the life of me find the link to download, JAWS says
the word "link" at some point as if there is a link there but no
matter how I try to activate it nothing happens , so much for web
accessibility of the website.

cheers

Geof
