Hopefully it's understandable. It #%&*-well had better be for the price. <laughs> Oh well. I spent $200 for WinXP in March, and Vista was advertised as going for $75. Last time I shop at CompUSA. It'll be worth it. <shrugs> Anything to ditch Win-Eyes and back to an OS I can trust. I can never seem to get Windows to act the same way twice. When Speak-Up goes USB-ready, I may consider a USB synth. Heard there was a screen reader for DOS, and was considering even that. Maybe under dosemu. I miss Aces of he Deep and sinking convoys.
