[RWP] Installing reaccess part 2

[Indigo]

Chrissie, I'm intrigued, what moves in reaper are required to see tracks?
I'm trying to get together a quick guide to Reaper from a screenreader 
point of view, and I would appreciate any key combination moves you 
discover.
Actually, if you have the energy and ambition, and it seems you do, to 
tackle Reaper barefoot, without ReaAccess; is the best method to really 
understand it.
ReaAccess is like a little sheltered port in a storm, somewhat isolated 
from complex Reaper.
While in ReaAccess, we don't encounter areas you are tackling.
I'm just at the same decision point you are, with a new Windows 7 64 bit 
machine, where I can't run 64 bit Reaper with Winize, and I'm leaning 
toward installing a swappable hard drive tray in an empty drive bay at 
the computer's front.Once that tray is in place, I'll be able to pick up 
the 64 bit Windows 7 hard drive and just plug it in, or take it out and 
plug the 32 bit Windows XP hard drive in.
Those trays aren't very expensive, and are no harder to install than an 
interior hard drive is.
I personally don't like Windows 7 64 bit, because not only Winize 
doesn't behave itself perfectly, but my brand new Emu 1616M sound card 
works better on 32 bits, and so does Reason 6, which, along with Reaper, 
is an amazing creative tool..
I will stay with what works, on XP; until the bugs get strained out of 
both Windows 7 64 and Window-Eyes 7x.
