Flipper! Now that is a blast from the past. I had set money aside for the
purchase of Flipper as my first DOS screen reader. Then Vocal-Eyes came out,
and since I knew Doug from the old Comp Aids days, I went that route
instead.

How well I remember back in the early days of Real-eyes discussing Dos 4.0
and of course Windows 3.1.

Screen readers of the day included Vocal-Eyes, Isos, Tiny-talk, Flipper,
ASAP, and of course Window Bridge.

And, was I amazed that the first computer I purchased back in 1992 featured
a wopping 40 megabyte hard drive!

I sure recieved some great assistance and advice back then from the
fledgling Real-Eyes group and its members.

So here's to the next 20 years!
