interesting experiment.

[Octavian Rasnita]

Of course, because that problem happend me for more times.

I think I found a little problem but I am not sure.

When it starts, emacspeak  tell me that message that it is functioning
normally (BTW. How can I change that message?)  and I don't care about that
message and I start pressing the normal shortcuts for launching the terminal
mode before it finishes the message. When I do that, the terminal doesn't
start.
If I let emacspeak to finish its message, I can start it.

How can I stop the voice? What key should I press if I want to stop the
message?
I searched in the help file but I couldn't find it.
Teddy,

Octavian: You need to explain yourself.

What is the meaning of "of course" in your message?

What's that about?

Also, why are you rebooting? That's your hangover from Windows.

Get a clue. That's not the way to get out of trouble.

Your emacs is probably working just fine, and you can probably
get back to your buffer list with c-x c-b

Now, instead of whining at the first sign of trouble, why not
study how to use the program a bit? Have you read the tutorials?
What can you succeed with? Or, did you just come here to say:

"of course"

to us.

I won't accept that. Not from you, not from anyone.
