    I have just a question about using VM waiter on Iraq tops or for 
that matter a desktop, how does a blind person you even go about 
configuring this to be used?
And how do you get speech to the virtual console?
As far as having to attempt to dual-boot and machine, it seems that 
someone should really about serious effort into writing a USB driver at 
it has been noted on this list before the days of a serial ports, are 
just numbered much like attempting to find a machine with a serial port 
and realizing that the only way to get it if either getting an old 
machine or special ordering a new one and really paying for it.
Just my two cents worth.
