I haven't been in this echo very long, so I don't know if this issue has 
already been discussed.  If so, please point me to the message string.
I attended two of the days ComDex was in session and definitely came away 
with the impression that Windows was taking hold strongly and firmly.  There 
are major implications for the blind and the advent of GUI interfaces.  
"Outspoken" on the Macintosh helps a blind person navigate quite successfully 
around the graphical Mac desktop.  Is there a similar speech program for the 
IBM (and compatibles) which can help us navigate the Windows environment?
