Hi, Long time no see. Do you still intend to produce programs for it? P.S. How's your online CS classes going? Cheers, Joseph

First I subscribed in digest mode. I'm 28 years old. My wife and I are both blind. We are both humanware customers through voc rehab who baught us braillenotes eight years ago. My wife baught a used voicenote. But I got mine through voc rehab. I since sold it to someone else but we still have my wife's broken voicenote upstairs. We don't have the money to get it fixed. I myself am a collector and user of old unsupported outdated software. I use this software by running windows3.1 through windows98 inside vmware player in Windows and in Vinux with the Orca screen reader and on Mac. I strongly believe that old systems and old software can still be useful to people such as windows95 and windows98 software as you'll see if you decide to subscribe to my podcast. Old systems like windows98 and windows95 can benefit less fortunate people who don't have $4000 or so to spend on a braillenote. I believe it is very important to keep the old software alive through the use of virtual machines or vmware. Just like my grandparents still enjoy old 1950s music, so I still enjoy and see benefits for windows95 and even windows3.1. I believe that we need to keep the old stuff alive and not just throw it away once it is replaced by the latest and greatest stuff. Keysoft and keynote for windows95 are great products and so is the old infovox230. Through my podcast I intend to show people that this software can still be alive and well and that it works great on modern computers.
