List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi all, Well, now, I don't see that at all. Emacspeak has come out with version 16, which includes a DAISY reader. Debian is going to be releasing its new version within the week. IBM is experimenting with Linux. A lot of Asian countries are taking a long, hard look at Linux. In addition the German government is taking a long hard look at Linux as well. If Microsoft wants to keep ahead of the market, maybe they need to do less marketing and more programming. Maybe they need to stop charging exorbitant prices for their stuff so that others can use it. I suspect that if Linux ever gets to the point of giving access to X, the adaptive tech folks are going to have a hard time selling their products. Ann P. -- Ann K.
