PRESS RELEASE - IMMEDIATE
[]

One Blind English Man, a Passport & Only His Talking PDA for Guidance!

Registered blind, slightly eccentric but definitely mobile, Dave Williams is 
embarking on a 4 week grand tour of the US with only his talking PDA for 
company.
 Single handed, Dave will negotiate 25 venues, 10 states and meet over 1000 
visually and print impaired people with the aim of demonstrating and furthering
their independence.

Registered blind since birth, Dave was recently appointed Mobile Products 
Manager at Dolphin Computer Access and is charged with showcasing the features
and benefits of the exciting new product Pocket Hal version 7.

Pocket Hal is a powerful screen reader available for a wide range of handheld 
devices such as PDAs (Pocket PCs) with the Windows Mobile family of operating
systems.  The software enables blind, low vision and print impaired individuals 
to work, learn, communicate and be entertained using the same portable
technology used by fully sighted colleagues, relatives and friends.

As a Pocket Hal user, plain speaking northerner (Preston, Lancashire, UK) and 
former community radio director and internet broadcaster, Dave will be well
equipped to send through regular updates on the progress and events on the tour 
via a Weblog and regular Podcasts.  To be a part of Dave's extraordinary
adventure, simply log on to <
http://www.phtour.yourdolphin.com/>www.phtour.yourdolphin.com.

Dave hopes to welcome visitors in person to these exciting days and says: "As a 
blind person who benefits from the independence afforded by a range of 
accessible
technologies, the development of Pocket Hal means I can now independently and 
confidently use a range of off-the-shelf PDA hardware and software.  The
Pocket Hal Tour is a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate the key strengths of 
this revolutionary product in person to audiences in the United States,
while colleagues and friends back home in Worcester can follow my journey 
online".

Dolphin is pleased to be working closely with leading companies such as 
Microsoft and HP in order to deliver the best possible access solutions for 
today's
mobile community.

"HP is committed to providing cutting-edge assistive features to help ensure 
the benefits of technology are available to all people" said Michael Takemura,
Director of the Accessibility Program Office at HP. "Dolphin's Pocket Hal 
running on HP iPAQ Pocket PCs provides visually impaired users enhanced mobile
communication freedom."

Bonnie Kearney, Director of Marketing, Accessible Technology Group at 
Microsoft, comments; "Thanks to accessible technology like Dolphin's Pocket 
Hal, low
vision and blind computer users are able to take full advantage of the latest 
range of Microsoft mobile solutions. Dolphin's latest range of access solutions
will ensure that visually impaired computer users are able to access the latest 
technology in a way that suits them best."
The Pocket Hal Tour - Be Part of the Journey, Follow the Adventure!

Re: [AI] [question about formatting laptop hdd

[Taraprakash]

Thanks a lot.
Now the next query.
If you format your laptop hard drive. and do not use the in built system 
recovery utility to install programs to the laptop, rather use an external 
windows CD. Do you use some laptop specific settings? I am concerned with 
hotkeys combined with function key.
I have been thinking of formatting my IBM for sometime and the latest bugger 
is Jaws 7 taking ages before speaking after booting. I start using programs 
which I can using hotkeys but jaws takes at least 5 minutes before i can use 
it.

Thanks for any comments and suggestions
Regards
Taraprakash
