Hi Richard, as I said in my last post to Keith terabyte themselves have done nothing. Speakup is part of Linux, and is only available in the image for linux package. It isn't included with image for windows, nor is there so much as a mention of it in the image for windows documentation. If someone tries the linux boot cd method and something goes wrong do you think terabyte would be of any help? I suspect not. In all probability they'd say that it was only included with image for linux as they only supported its use with image for linux. There isn't so much as a mention of speakup in the image for windows documentation. Isn't that significant? By all means try and see if it works for you. There's a trial of image for linux you can download.

I think that the company should be congratulated. They have at least tried to implement an accessible solution, which even the mighty Microsoft have not bothered to attempt. I think I'm right in saying that Ghost isn't atall accessible, so I'd rather have a company that has made an effort to helpus.

Still, I suppose the company should be congratulated for considering accessibility and including speakup. Whether you consider it a nightmare is a matter of oppinion, the fact isthat accessibility has been included in a world where that is often not thecase. The linux command line is far more powerful than dos and I would suggest that it has a lot to offer a blind user.

Incidentally, even should it in the event be possible it looks like a complete and utter nightmare. It's like stepping back to the dos days.
