Hi Chris
It was interesting to read your comments about thunder. However, the
developers of Thunder are very clear that it provides access to the
essential Windows components, together with Word, Outlook Express and Webbie
for accessing the Internet. Admittedly, I haven't tried it yet, although I
will be reviewing it for the next Infotech magazine. But I just wanted to
point out that the intention as far as I know is that it is not designed to
support applications such as Windows Messenger and some of the others you
pointed out. It was great to read the comments as long as we remember what
it's all about.

I guess it is simply "what you pay for, is what you get."
As it is free, well...
I wouldn't even have it anywhere near my PC.

Dear all,
HYPERLINK "mailto:I@m"I'm writing to report on my views of Thunder. I'm
trying it again, and it is quite good, as stated previously. However, I am
not impressed, as it definitely does not read out conversations in
MSN/Windows/Windows Live Messenger. Also, when I want to compose e-mail in
Outlook Express, Thunder does not announce what characters I'm deleting
using the backspace key, although it does when pressing the forward delete
key. Thirdly, Thunder hardly works in either Mozilla Firefox or Thunderbird,
which is quite annoying, since that's my favourite e-mail client to date as
it's more secure. Finally, I'm using the Eloquence TTS Engine, and, if you
press the right square bracket key, it says something like right score
bracket, which is strange. Finally (and I mean finally), Thunder says quote
when you press the apostrophe character, which is a bit confusing.
I hope you find these comments useful, and I look forward to hear from you.
