	I'm running Debian Linux on a P6 Celeron at 2GHz, and the Orca 
screen reader in the GUI is as slow as molasses, sometimes taking 5 full 
seconds for the next keypress to be read, if at all, and I'm running the 
fastest Seagate HDD I could find, in 1.25G of memory.  I don't know if a 
P3 could handlethe Orca screen reader, as I think it's a piece of crap 
at my end.  I stick with (gags) Windows and the NVDA 
(www.nvda-project.org) screen reader for any GUI operations here.  I 
told those Orca losers years ago they were implementing it wrong and 
they'd be spending their time from now until doomsday, cleaning up other 
programmer'sFUBARs, but hey, what can I say.  No accessibility standard, 
no accessibility following by the mainstream.  Hehe.
