First of all, I never see any announcements on this list? 2nd, and most important, I really cannot run Linux until there is a screen-reader which supports the DecTalk PC? Emax doesn't seem to be a screen-reader? It would be more than wonderful if some kind of speech would install with Slack Ware. Having to install anything from inside of a program which doesn't talk is hard at best. Tomorrow I am planning on ordering DSL---and I would like to eventually try Linux. Please let me know when there is support for DecTalk PC? Thanks so much Hart Larry
