Well, I was googling for downloads of the latest speakup. Ok, from the regular speakup site, it claims I have 121 hours left for this first disk. At that rate, we may have a Democrat in the Whitehouse? So I was thinking, www.linuxquestions.org has many distributions. Why couldn't they house either mirrirs or speakup files? Many months ago, I wrote them and suggested they have a screen-reader forum. They said there isn't enough call for it. Well, its a catch22 if there were blind helpful files there, more blind people would visit--and get involved. Thanks for listening Hart
