I put on a program that converts text to sound. It is pretty decent. When you type win at the command prompt. You get a Welcome to Linux. The system that kicks windoze arse! Stay tuned for your fortune. Then a new fortune is played upon each login. I love this Linux system. It's a heck of a lot better than paying 99 bucks for an upgrade or 200 bucks for the full version of XP. Especially, since you can take the windoze system down by deleting one file. Not to mention the Raw sockets and what hackers could do with them. Maybe Linux will be a great alternative. A company called Linux-Mandrake is trying to develop a version of Linux that is very easy for the average user to work with. Jim On Sat, 2001-09-08 at 16:07, Keith P.
