It's probably "optimised" for Internet Explorer, but I know it doesn't work well with Firefox running on Linux. I use Linux on 11 machines at home, I don't have any Windows machines here and probably don't remember how to use it anyway.

Meh. I have a Mac, so I use Safari, and it works.

Everyone should get a Mac.

Mac isn't so... blind user friendly. Apple used to be, but last I heard there wasn't and won't be much cooperation in this area. I could be wrong because I stopped checking up on that.
I did look into the linux based Oralux for a while, but I'm kind of invested deep with what adaptive software I have, and that is for the XP platform... For me, everything is a key command kind of like Linux can be, and that can get confusing when using and switching between the two.

Yea, I'm a VIP (visually impaired person) and my Mac running Tiger and Firefox works a treat.
I think Macs are brill as do most of my extended family. We just like life to be easier

Everybody breathe a sigh of relief over the vBulletin upgrade. It has been pushed back at least another week.

Like I said, I could be wrong. If they have resolved the issue with the vidio intersept hooks for speech synths on Macs, and I am unaware, I apologise.

But I've also put a lot into learning how to use my speech synthisizer software, as well as, the cost. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to start all over again and buy new software along with a new machine.
That was an interesting aspect of the Linux based adapted software I was looking at... It really didn't cost anything, andwas an all in one platform and all that. You just needed the cd and a machine with enough memory and so on. Oops, that is going off topic.

Guess we're going to have a little more time to get ready for the forum changes. Thanks for letting us know Mike1. Hope things go smooth on your end and it isn't too stressful. Good luck.
