Well if you dislike window eyes so much are you willing to cell it?

S'why it took almost five years to finally break down and put the $#%$%&^ garbage back on my computer. I've regretted every single day it has ran. <grins> Never could get W95 to consistantly connect at 56K...even with programming the NVRAM on my external modem and re-writing the .inf file. That was the main reason I ported to Linux. I could no longer control my own computer. (Lovingly pets "his Precious.) Linux gave me my computer back. Makes my skin crawl to consider how Microsoft is trying to horn in on Linux. I !know! they're working with the govt. to eliminate the 4th Amendment against warrantless searches. I don't trust Redhat, either. Getting rid of Debian too, because it's too easy to infiltrate a trojan via dpkg. Yeah, I'm paranoid, but when you examine the evidence... Bugrit! > There is.

I was thinking of using something to wipe my WinXP drive and fdisk the thing into about 16 different fat-16 partitions and installing freedos and Win 3.11. Use it as an emergency dual-boot setup in case my Seagate croaks. I'm running removable hard drives. I don't trust Windows not to infect my Linux drive. <laughs> Give it cooties, or something. Six different OS releases, multiple IE upgrades, and thousands of security updates and they still haven't closed the email/address book vulnerability. They want that sucker left wide open. > In fact, if you tried to use both speakup and provox in a dosemu > session with the same synth, I wouldn't be > surprised if you ran into problems. Couldn't be any worse than Narrator and Win-Eyes both running at the same time. <grins> Wouldn't be any less understandable, anyway. I'm thinking of getting another couple screen readers working all at the same time. It'll be just like being right in the middle of a Jerry Springer show. <grins> Thank you for the URL's. I have many of them. They're just in a big pile in Firefox's bookmarks. Can't organize them using Win-Eyes yet. <smirks> Michael _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- No virus found in this incoming message.
