All I meant was that a Linux box works best when dealing with handling data
packits over a network and this product will allow the blind user to send
and recieve *shutter* windows files across a network (office to office for
instance) if need be.
I understand how you my think I am full of it, after all, such words may be
hard to grasp.  However, I say
that if you give this release a chance, the concept will catch on.  I don't
mean to waste anyone's time, I simply ask that you keep an opend-mind.
After all, isn't this what open-source is all about?
