off-topic: Just how the heck does one use gnome/gnopernicus

[Michael Whapples]

Is orca useful? I mainly ask that because I like keeping my system clean of 
things that aren't very useful, and gnome, X and all the GUI stuff wasn't 
useful as I could never get going with gnopernicus. for anything except its 
own control panel. Suppose I mean is there things I can do with gnome and 
orca that I can't do with speakup in a text console.
