This thing needs to be run into the ground. Partucularily if there
are groups interested in the thing. What works, what doesn't work,
what could have been done better.
Areas of interest:
--improving the voice
-----could you live with it if that was all you had to guide you.
-----Does listening to it with the programs drive you up the wall
--Alpine 2.00
----This version is supposed to work with Gmail.
--Scanning and Optical Character Recognition
----Do the scripts work?
--IRC Chat
----I've listened to yasr, freetts and irssi. I think it's the best
I've found yet. What do you think?
--pjsua--How could it be made as fuctional as possible?
--Anything and everything.
