Just to clarify my point about the OS's further. And to be concise. Using the PC and PC DOS/Windows os's as an example, what is so, so unthinkable about a palmtop or laptop that is fully functional with braille and speech. I have a desktop pc with a DecTalk Express and a PowerBraille 40 running a dual-boot system, linux with brltty and emacspeak and speakup or DOS/Windows 95 running Window-Eyes 4.1. Why can't something this good be in a box that small? Sighted people have it with Thinkpad and Mac Power Book. I don't know what kinds of portable PC run full Linux with X-win? That's all folks.
