Few questions about speakup

[Thomas Ward]

Hi. Well, it is in any operating systems best interrests financially to go
to a graphical user interface. The answer is simpl.
The sited world simply can't use there computers without a mouse. You give
them a computer without a mouse, and they will stair at it in dumb wonder,
and will exclame that they can't use it.

I just fixed a laidies Windows 98 computer the other day. Her mouse got
screwed up, and that was it. She didn't know how to access the start menu,
shutdown her computer, and basically absolutely zip.

That is why some distributions like Mandrake Linux are designing around the
gui, and leaving off some text programs. To us it sounds mordifying, but to
the sighted world that is great, and they buy it, and Mandrake is happy, the
buyers our happy, and business is booming.
To Mandrake's credit the profetional additions include a wide range of both
text and graphical which makes everyone happy.
