Hello John, It has been over 20 years cence i've used a Mack computer. Back then, they were called Apple-2 computers. They had these cards that plugged in to a slot on the mother board. These cards were called eccoe speach centhisisers. They would read the text on the screen to you, but if the text happen to be in a box, it was a pane to get it to read it to you. Maby I'm using the rong mejuring stick to mejur a pc against a Mack or vice versa, I thot that you had to have some kind of software to make a Mack read the text that shows up on it's screen. Think you for clearing that up for me. Because of this, I know what to expect. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Sanfilippo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'PC audio discussion list.
