[ddots-l] Re: SADIE jfw scripts

Dan:  this is my concern about the scripts RNIB is using.  I would need
access to the advance features were I to even consider trying out SaDie at
work.  I do know that a configured PC and rack system costs Radio NZ around
20 thousand NZ dollars, and that's probably at bulk prices.

And anyway, aren't we very slightly off-topic, (she says with a wry smile)?

Cheers

Kylee
