But lately, I've been using the doubletalk more than the tripletalk. The tripletalk doesn't seem to work with the latest speakup-enabled version of the debian installer. The triple talk has some advantages over the doubletalk though. It gets power through the USB port so you don't have to plug it into a wall socket. The doubletalk can use a battery but i would always forget to turn it off and the next thing I knew, the battery would be dead. The tripletalk is also a little bit more solidly built. I had to send my doubletalk back to have the serial cable replaced. And now the headphone jack broke. It's true that the doubletalk has taken a beating the way i carry it around. I am always grabbing it and running up to somebody's office to fix their computer. But I do the same thing with the tripletalk and it still works.
