Already ordered a DoubleTalk LT. Bugrit! Hopefully it's understandable. It #%&*-well had better be for the price. Oh well. I spent $200 for WinXP in March, and Vista was advertised as going for $75. Last time I shop at CompUSA. It'll be worth it. Anything to ditch Win-Eyes and back to an OS I can trust. I can never seem to get Windows to act the same way twice. When Speak-Up goes USB-ready, I may consider a USB synth. Heard there was a screen reader for DOS, and was considering even that. Maybe under dosemu. I miss Aces of he Deep and sinking convoys. I wonder if I can write a U-boat sim that can be used by the blind. It's not like you can see anything when you're 150 meters under the surface, anyway. Sorry. Ex-Navy here. Thank you for the info. I still have a laptop to buy for, so... It was either get a synth ASAP, or toss the freakin' computer out the window the next time I heard, "Please save your work at this time..." Michael
