there may soon be a new optacon.  I hope it will acces directly with a
pc and also hope that a method of using it with linux is devised.

I don't mean to offend anybody, but this is just not good enough.  It
seems
stupid in this day and age to have to get a sighted person to read you
something that was produced electronically and I for one wouldn't stand
for
it.  It's bad enough that sighted people ask you if you have someone who
can see to read it to you, heaven forbid that we have blind people
advocating the same thing.

OK OK, so if you really need access to something, at least it gets the
job
done.  but I'd be persuing many other avenues first.

Geoff.
