Hi, I have been told that with linnux you don't get viruses, besides this I have been told it is a much better operating system to windows, so these are two of the reasons why I thought I would go for linnux. You say that I would need a different screen reader to Jaws? so what once are available or is there only one screen reader for us to use on linnux. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Saqib Shaikh" <S.Shaikh@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.'" <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 9:09 AM Subject: RE: linux > Hi Andrew > > Welcome from a fellow Englander!
