You're welcome, Jackie. I had heard of a voice recognition program over 6 years ago but can't remember its name. Maybe AOL. My Headmouse is on loan to me or I wouldn't be able to afford it. It's written for W95?and?with XP it isn't perfect so I use XP's onscreen keyboard for the imperfections. When I got a newer computer with?XP I had to have the little floppy disc w/program copied to a CD. I can do most meeting prep with the WTLibrary and downloaded everything in English?from jw.org so far. I've burned all 2008 and 2009 mags on separate DVDs. Don and I enjoy the dramas from a CD too. The new songs make me teary-eyed. I can't get him to learn to?use the computer. He's 'old school' I guess. It's not that he's not busy enough as my caregiver plus everything else inside and outside the house. We don't miss meetings too often and use the phone hookup when we do.
