If a second computer costed as much as a speech synthesizer, then perhaps
I could see your point of complaint in needing a second computer to access
linux.  However, since you can go to a flee market, a trade show, or even
a second hand computer show, pick up a computer for less than 100 bucks,
put linux on it, and you're running a 100% accessible operating system
that has all the features of a modern operating system, I find the
investment of a second computer to be negligible.
