I'm running Debian Linux on a P6 Celeron at 2GHz, and the Orca screen reader in the GUI is as slow as molasses, sometimes taking 5 full seconds for the next keypress to be read, if at all, and I'm running the fastest Seagate HDD I could find, in 1.25G of memory. I don't know if a P3 could handlethe Orca screen reader, as I think it's a piece of crap at my end. I stick with (gags) Windows and the NVDA (www.nvda-project.org) screen reader for any GUI operations here. I told those Orca losers years ago they were implementing it wrong and they'd be spending their time from now until doomsday, cleaning up other programmer'sFUBARs, but hey, what can I say. No accessibility standard, no accessibility following by the mainstream. Hehe. Michael
