hi. This is a program that is ***directly***
aimed at blind computer users. so snopes.com
would not have such information. Facts are facts
people. i've seen at least 10 systems crash as a
result of this thing and it angers me more than I
can express in words. Anyone who does this to
the blind community...well, I will go no further.
Darrel is quite correct about this, this is a
virus of some kind, very destructive.
So do not try and install it on your own
machine, just so you'll see what it'll do. Don't
think your system is above the programming abilities of a virus writer.
