Anyone recall IBM Screenreader and VoTrax speech synthesizer. I hated IBM screenreader. The only online information system which I could access on my own was a bulletin board here in Pittsburgh. I'll never forget the time the sysop took to take to help get me connected to the online world. It's hard to believe what I have learned since then. In my opinion learning computers is like learning to ski, play an instrument or any other activity along c lines. It takes time, effort and asking questions.
