Also, I= think its a good idea to write to all the major motherboard manufacturers about the Linuxbios project=2E And also explain how including a talking bi= os in future motherboards would benifit the blind/visually impaired community= =2E And also explain how current bioses are inaccessible to visually impaired people=2E What iare everyone's thoughts on this?=20 -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web=2Ecom/ =2E
