I didn't notice any difference in the boot. (I am sighted my roommate isn't.) The one thing I noticed is that attaching the synth didn't seem to cause it to start speaking. But I didn't play arround and there may be a way around that too. I simply rebooted to make it speak. -- Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net ------------------ Seek simplicity -- and distrust it.
