Talk soon, Eleni ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Will Smith <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 07:55:16 -0400 Subject: Windows Start menu utility offered for free To: [email protected] I often check the Giveaway of the Day web site, and today for less than 24 hours, about 16 hours or so left, you can get this program to use. It's also available in a general version for free at their web site, on an on-going basis. What I do not know is how useful it might or might not be for those of us using speech for access. It will probably take a more experienced user of windows 7 or windows xp to give this a fair trial work-out. If anyone does decide to give it a try please let us know if it proves to be useful to you. And possibly for most of us, or possibly not. Thanks in advance for any reactions to it.
