All I meant was that a Linux box works best when dealing with handling data packits over a network and this product will allow the blind user to send and recieve *shutter* windows files across a network (office to office for instance) if need be. I understand how you my think I am full of it, after all, such words may be hard to grasp. However, I say that if you give this release a chance, the concept will catch on. I don't mean to waste anyone's time, I simply ask that you keep an opend-mind. After all, isn't this what open-source is all about?
