[Thomas Ward]

    Hi, I have thought lots of times of doing this.'Sort of thing, even
started on a tootorial tape before.
Is everyone really interrested in this project? If so I'd be willing to work
on it, and could probably have some training tapes/audio cd's in about
amonth or so ready.
However, understand because of time/materials/shipping I couldn't  possibly
make them free. I'd have to charge $15.00 or so for them to buy tapes/cd
disks/ship them etc.
However, I do think a Speakup/Linux tootorial tape system like those that
ship with Jaws For Windows is what Speakup needs to help newbies over come
not only the job of learning Linux basics, but also Speakup and its own
particular commands.

Hi there,

I'd be glad to go on record as a potential customer for a good inexpensive
tutorial and I believe there'd be a real on-going market for such.  It
would probably be a good idea to get a "standard system" configuration
that we could likely obtain without too much trouble, so that the
instructions would apply to most of us.

Hi Thomas and list.
As someone who is relatively new to Linux myself i must say that Thomas' 
idea isn't too bad.
I realize that undertaking such a venture requires a substantial amount 
of time, further putting his work into an universally accessible format 
and placing it on media, in wav format on casettes or cds for example, 
then shipping it does cost money, sand I know to or think at least that 
it's Thomas' intent to make it rich doig tutorials, he just sees the 
value of this work and sees the fact that it might help someone so a fee 
to at least recover costs of production is indeed reasonable.
If I can help by contributing feedback as a relative newbie feel free to 
contact me via private email or via the list.
Regards,
Ed Barnes

[David Poehlman]

Am I mistaken or are there not some thingies out there that can be
assembled such as acb radio tutorials on this and also does not nbp have
some material that could be blended in as well?  I would love material
to read but I'd rather have it in text form.

Hi Thomas. In the case on Linux, wouldn't you want people to contribute
distro-specific installation instructions if they are using the tape as a
Linux installation guide? Or do you intend on making the tutorial speakup
only? I'm just saying because if you intend to provide distro-specific
instructions, I can contribute with anything specific to Debian. Let me
know if I am interpreting this the wrong way.

Gates go to hell, your OS is waiting for you there!
