I haven't got a response and I don't think the add has got that long to go. So does anyone know where I could find a cheap machine that could run the command line version of linux? And that will work with speakup and has a supported sound card? Also do I need a hardware synth for linux? And does anyone know if I can use the braille note from humanware as a braille display? Thanks, -- Daniel Dalton
