List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi! I know very little about either Linux, Speakup, or any other of the speech systems that work with Linux. In other words, I subscribed to this list to get information, with little hope of being able to contribute. But, when I saw the posts about palmtops running Linux, I went to Amazon.com, and saw that they were selling one by Sharp. It's called the Zaurus SL-5600, and costs around $500.00, I think. Maybe some of you techies can look at the specifications, and see if it would work with speech. Speaking of technical, I think this list is a little over my head. Are there any lists for blind people who are just starting to learn about Linux? Thanks for any help. Beth Wright
