Alan, I believe Satogo will only work on Windows XP, however there was
one report that it may work on Vista, so I guess 98 is out of the
question here I'm afraid, sorry.

>   Technology Company Introduces SA To Go

> 
>   Minneapolis, Minn. - June 13, 2007 - Serotek Corporation, the leading
>   provider of Internet and digital information accessibility software and
>   services, announces the public beta release of  a web application
>   called SA To Go (System Access To Go), the first product to make Web
>   2.0 accessible to the blind and the visually impaired. 
> 
>   SA To Go is a web-resident product stemming from Serotek's
>   award-winning System Access software. More than a screen reader, System
>   Access requires no installation and provides complete control of your
>   e-mail, makes web surfing easy, and offers intuitive access to
>   Microsoft Office productivity tools like Word, PowerPoint and Excel. SA
>   To Go makes System Access available on the Web for instant operation
>   and has no permanence on the using computer. Users can now access
>   System Access software anytime, anywhere that Internet access is
>   available.
> 
>   "We believe SA To Go will revolutionize the way blind people use the
>   computer," said Mike Calvo, CEO, Serotek Corporation, "That's why we
>   felt it critical to leverage the power of Web 2.0 to continue to
>   fulfill our promise of accessibility anywhere."
> 
>   SA To Go provides instant accessibility. Once online, users can visit
>   www.SAtoGo.com and it appears in seconds. When finished, the user
>   simply closes the program and any personal information vanishes leaving
>   the host computer completely unchanged. 
> 
>   "Microsoft applauds Serotek's innovation with respect to access for
>   all," said Daniel Hubbell, Technical Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation,
>   "SA To Go is a revolution for people who need access to computers away
>   from home."
> 
>   Because of technologies like Fonix's text-to-speech and its small size,
>   SA To Go loads within seconds giving the blind user the same access on
>   the go as his sighted peers. And since SA To Go is a true web
>   application, accessibility is no longer an expensive option; companies
>   that want to provide public accessibility to customers can do so for a
>   fraction of the cost.
> 
>   "Serotek's new SA To Go application gives blind and visually impaired
>   users quick, convenient access to PC functions," says Tim K. Hong, VP
>   of Sales, Fonix Speech, Inc. "SA To Go incorporates Fonix
>   text-to-speech, which is optimized to provide clear, intelligible TTS
>   voices without using large amounts of processing power or memory. Fonix
>   speech technology is a good fit for Serotek's System Access Mobile
>   applications."
> 
>   Serotek is putting the system out for public Beta because they are
>   encouraging user input. The company can imagine hundreds of
>   applications but believes users will direct its true potential. 
> 
>   "We think we've only scratched the surface of the potential of SA To
>   Go," says Calvo, "That's why we're inviting users to take it for a spin
>   and let us know how they think it might be applied." 
> 
>   The company will be surveying users on a regular basis and encouraging
>   users to e-mail their ideas and comments to SAToGo@xxxxxxxxxxxx
> 
>   To participate in the public beta, users can go to
>   http://www.satogo.com and follow the instructions. Immediate
>   accessibility will lead the user through the registration process. For
>   more information about Serotek and its family of System Access
