*****SPAM***** My apology

[Scott Howell]

Ok this is rediculous Kevin for the simple reason that if any of this 
were possible and I"m still not there yet; there's nothing to be gain.  
I mean that in the sense that the overhead for such transactions over a 
netowrk would be prety large in my mind and I'm not a networking expert. 
If I understand your saying you could use a Linux box running SPeakup 
while sitting at a windows box and this alsa tool would allow you to use 
SPeakup on the windows box instead of a windows-based screen reader.
If this understanding is correct, I submit to you this is useless. Why? 
Well its simple. If folks need a gui they could always use Gnome and 
Gnopernicus. If I correct in my understanding and folks still wanted to 
use SPeakup in such a fashion over a network, I still believe the 
overhead would be unreasonable. Besides all that, I think most folk 
would rather use a Linux box instead of a windows box. THere's nothing 
that can't be done on a Linux box that can be done on a windows box as 
far as I can tell. Your efforts would be better spent elsewhere. I still 
don't see this any of this being ore than a crock, but you sure made a 
lot of folk mighty upset because you didn't give us the information 
requested in the beginning. 
Oh and by the way, you can access files from a Linux box with windows by 
using Samba so your statements are just not making sense. I made up the 
bit above based on some incredible assumptions. Thanks I made these 
observations before my first cup of coffee, now I've taxed my few brain 
cells and most go load them up with coffee. I must not be awake yet.
