Hello, I'm back to Linux again and to save time I'm sticking with Red hat 8 for the moment. I think I'll keep away from version 9 as it doesn't have speak up included as far as I know any way. As its been about a year since I've looked at Linux, could any one tell me what if any changes have been made to Speak up and how I can get my hands on the latest version? Has the problem that I was having with the Apollo been resolved? I find when reading text the apollo is distorted. This can be temporarily fixed by changing the timing variables in jiffy_delta and delay_time. I believe I could make a script for making this a permanent fix but I haven't a clue where to start. Any help appreciated Darragh
