Hi Tommy

I also agree with your comments, but i do like the way that hinter joyce
does it with your cd for their jfw screen reader which speaks even if you
only have a normal computer sound card on the system and it starts speaking
as soon as it is running.

I just wish that other software companies would do the same thing then at
least, we the blind would have some idea of what is going on with the
software that is being install from the beginning even if the os doesn't
speak before then....
