answered me practically at once.
Thank you for that!
Now questions:

so, which speech synthesiser do you have?

Pentium 3 633MHz overclocked to 750MHz, 128MB RAM, 20GB hdd( with sound =
Blaster live 1024 and the oldest Tieman's Braille display with 40+5 =

Thank you very much for your effort to help me, indeed!
