Does anyone know if something like this would be accessible for us either on Windows or on Leopard? They said they're working on the Mac one so that's why I asked. I don't mean with the graphical stuff but with the things that are text-based... http://www.virtualapple.org/ I was thinking of sugg

Texttalker! That's the one I got. Believe it or not, I actually got that and Proterm from APH only a few years ago. I had an old catalogue of their's and they had a few old things lying around. Does anyone know of a place that sells vintage tech for the blind, not just computer stuff but gener

Oh my Gods Vert! I've got the disks and synth for it but I'll be damned if I can use it. It's more complicated than dos itself! I love the synth and wish I could use it for other stuff (same voice as the Language Master and the Keynote Voicecard) but unfortunately, it only works with Vert. Ann

Got my Mac Fixed

Today, I finally went to the Apple store with my mother and got my Macbook fixed. The only thing is that while I got Apple Care, I never registered it, figuring that since it was bought for me, that part was already handled. Well, it turns out that it wasn't and so we had to call Apple Care. Th

Rare Apple Synth

So I was looking for used replacement synths for my Echo and Echo PC (preferably Doubletalk and Doubletalk LT) and found something very interesting. I've never heard of this. Can anyone help? I'm seriously tempted to buy it. Is it compatible with Textalker? This thing has got to be rare and I
