Running a command in background?

Hi, Janina,

     Regarding Teddy's not having a hardware synthesizer allowing 
him to use speakup, may I gently but firmly remind you that some 
people cannot come up with $250 plus as easily as others with 
well paying jobs can.  If I were not sort of between jobs with 
the work forom my new job not available yet I would buy him one 
or at least make a significant contribution which I would then 
request others to match.  You should have used the word can't 
which is infinitely more applicable than the word "won't: in 
Teddy's and in many other cases.
