Hi all, >From what I've heard, lindows is being forced to change it's name because it sounds too close to windows, I don't know if they have changed their name already though. What I've read about lindows is that it is more a GUI-type operating system, and you buy programs for it from the lindows warehouse on their web site. I'll check to see if I can find some more information on lindows and email it to the list. Also, regarding synthesizers, I've finally decided to just get the hardware option using speakup. I hear that the DoubleTalk is the cheapest. One software solution I wonder if it would work is a synthesizer made by infovox. I read in elba manual that elba uses it, and of course, elba is a linux-based notetaker. Look at www.infovox.se By the way, thanks for telling me the dectalk doesn't work with yasr anymore, I was hesitating whether to buy it! But I'd rather go with hardware now, particularly as speakup is built into the kernel.
