Well, I can respect your choice as to interpretation. As Indicated, I was amazed to get Eric's assumption based questions, and not on list where such questions belonged. Given the spirit of exploration, I would have expected, are screen readers in Dos difficult? etc. I did not get this, nor even a request to discuss the matter privately. such as Karen I don't know much about screen readers in dos, can I ask you about this off list?
I answered as I thought would be most educational, and honestly the suggestion that speech only runs in Isa when that could be corrected with a simple google did make me laugh. You, however, did just educate me. Your mention of firefox suggests that it can run in wind 3.1? If I mis-read that I apologize. Karen On Tue, 6 Apr 2010, Michael C.
