Well since I usually turn off the screen when using a screen reader they serve much the same purpose. Just so you won't feel too far off. *chuckle* - -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.

* Re: setiathome ` setiathome Glenn Ervin at Home ` setiathome Sina Bahram @ ` Chuck Hallenbeck 1 sibling, 0 replies; 7+ messages in thread From: Chuck Hallenbeck @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Glenn Ervin at Home, Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. In Linux it is not even noticeable. I have been running setiathome for three weeks now with no noticeable impairment of functioning here. It only briefly uses connectivity to download a data set of about 350K and then usually hours later it uploads the results and discards the data. Very nice. In fact it is maximum "nice", which is 19. Check "man nice" My average load pins the needle at 1.0 for one, five, and fifteen minute periods, but as soon as I initiate something else, setiathome steps aside with no arguments. A bunch of speakuppers are constantly on the lookout for those little green men, myself included.
