yes anyone you can put me in contact with will be helpful. now can someone out there get in touch with the original keynote gold multimedia speech developer so we can update that synthesizer as well? if only I were a programmer I would disassemble the old windows95 software re-write it, change its name and release it as open source windows7 mac, and ubuntu linux software. humanware, we want this software to run on our pcs mac macs and on ubuntu and grml Linux!
