Donations and grants. Perhaps we should all go to www.nvda-project.org and
donate 5 or 10 dollars, I've been meaning to and looks like now is a good
time.

has both a talking install and a mobile version that can be run from a USB
flash drive. I keep it around on a USB drive, one just to play with and to
keep around should I simply just need it on my own or another computer.
