Hello all, Kenny, I know which email from Mike Calvo you're referring to. He did talk about being able to get better deals from other businesses, but it was clearly in the context of software licensing and providing additional services to customers. There was not a hint that we would sell personal information or users' web browsing activities. And in response to Keith, what makes you so sure that a proxy is involved with our service? If we were tracking your web browsing activity, I would be the first to know about it. Remember, I'm currently Serotek's only programmer, and their system administrator. As for speech-dispatcher, the interface seems to be *too* simplistic. As far as I know, speech-dispatcher can't send any notifications back to the application, which would enable the app to move the cursor during a continuous read or play an audio file when the current utterance is done. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, we have never required that you buy dial-up access from us. If you already have an Internet service provider, be it dial-up or high-speed, you can simply pay $9.95 per month or $99 per year, plus a one-time $25 activation fee. This has been true for years. Again, please let me know if you have any other questions, comments, or concerns. Also, Mike Calvo would be happy to answer any questions or address any concerns in a public, recorded voice chat session, e.g. on a Speak Freely reflector, if that would help. -- Matt Campbell Lead Programmer Serotek Corporation www.freedombox.info
