I think that would be great also, but there probably are too few of
us blinks who know how to opperate a computer. Now, you could say,
that they should learn, but unfortunately I think that a majority
of blind people probably or elderly, and that would put them at a
disadvantage.  It would be nice to have both.  Naturally it would
be better if we could control what we want to read.
