As I said with a 2 Gb = stick in one of the two USB ports, it's quite responsive in loading apps = but I haven't installed any speech on it. I should that but as I said = it's been found permanent tasks, so won't be messed about with. Thanks, for the louder Linux info. I didn't know about that one.

I hate lugging a laptop; the dead weight of a screen is especially irksome. PDAs with speech are overpriced. Most seem to run Windows, with one exception (the Pappenmeier device). There's a group of people who are trying to turn a Linksys router into a talking portable. See www.louderlinux.net. I wish them luck. Does your "slug" device use an x86 processor? That would make it especially attractive. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup __________ NOD32 2308 (20070604) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
