Darragh has some very good audio podcasts on installing Linux,
configuring orca, and an an introduction to the Gnome graphical desktop.
His Ubuntu 8.04 step by step installation podcast is the best I have

Hi Trouble,
Not true. Many Linux distributions such as Ubuntu are just as graphical
as Windows. Both the KDE and Gnome desktops resembles MS Windows in a
lot of ways.it is safe to say anyone who can use MS Windows can easily
use a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu without too much of a learning

Hi Nicol,
Windows 3.1 was released around 1993. As for screen readers for 3.1
there was Jaws for Windows 1.x, Jaws 2.0, and Slimware Window Bridge. I
believe the first versions of Window Eyes came out around that time as well.
As for the question, "is anyone still running it," I certainly hope no

One major diference is that the XBox games are designed with XInput

Hi guys. I'm developing my RPG in XNA using .NET 3.5. As a developer,
fighting change is pointless. You're better off embracing the new technology
because it's only going to get progressively worse the longer you resist.
DirectX has given way to XNA and XNA is a marvelous technology.
