Dave, I don't live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, but I just wanted to let you know that we all appreciate your willingness to pitch in when we need help. Sometimes we get frustrated when we can not tell what is going on. Tings don't work perfectly all the time, and sometimes speech is not accessible for short periods of time. I just had the experience of installing Windows NT workstation at work, and there is no way whatsoever to have a talking install. I know how to answer the prompts, I just need to know what they are. I have not converted to Linux yet, but I am planning on it in the very near future. Thanks again for the message.

I'm not a blind person and don't know any, just wanted to offer my assistance if anyone in the Dallas/Fort Worth Texas area needs lend of a set of eyeballs for trouble shooting computer junk. I have no experience whatsoever with any of the products that may be in use by blind people, but am intrigued by the voice interface concept. Anyway, keep up the good work and GO LINUX. I hope the Gnome team is giving some thought to voice synthesis modules/plugins for the new Linux interface being developed.
