Hi. I have in my hands (at least for a few days) an elba. A very interesting device. Unfortunately, I didn't get a manual, so I am doing trial and error to find out the key strokes. It is a unit with a braille keyboard. I really like the case and how the unit was designed. The speech is ok most of the time. It does however, have some problems at times. I will start to sound like an am radio slightly out of tune, or for the hams, like single side band, not tuned correctly. The speech isn't available in all applications. I haven't found any way to read word by word or character by character. or even to have it repeat the current line. the braille display is really nice, and I like the movement bar ont he front of the unit. It runs linux 2.4.9 as its kernel. more later if anyone is interested. phil _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
