-> Thanks for the information about the Amiga computer.  I am not sure how 
-> the off  line reader works, but the way every body here is talking, it 
-> must be very use ful.  
 
 
Yes Julie, it does seem to be very useful to some people.  I just
received a disk in a computer magazine that has a spelling tutor.  It is 
like a spelling bee where the Amiga pronounces a word, and then you have 
to spell it correctly.  It also seems that the Amiga could help people
with speaking disorders.  I am sure that there are lots of programs out
there that could be a help for lot's of people.
 
The voice synthesis also has sprun up some really neat hack programs. 
Since the amiga is Multi-tasking, and can run many programs at the same
time.  Some of the hacks are very small and run in the backround of
other programs.  One really funny one makes hewing sounds everytime you
put a disk into a drive.  That should get some funny looks from visiting 
friends.  There is also another one that says "Thank you" everytime you
answer one of the system messages. The possibilities are limitless.
