To NoOp: It is obvious that you are not up to date on how IBM sold Linux
users down the drain,by selling the only voice dictation program to
ScanSoft/Nuance, which dropped Linux support immediately! I am
answering this e-mail on when does using voice dictation, which enables
me to type my voice and save my arthritis. I am able to use open
office, the latest version, and sea monkey for e-mail using voice
dictation, which is completely missing from Linux! As of today, I have
gotten rid of my Linux box. So any questions or information will be
screened in on my end for relationship to Windows ,only!

I'm not sure exactly what betrayal you are talking about; seems to me
that IBM are doing significant work in accessabilty and open source:

Perhaps are you referring to IBM selling ViaVoice off to Nuance? If so,
I seem to recall that this did not include the linux portion, so perhaps
IBM will dust off the code & release as open source to counter the MS
Vist offering.
So how is this related to OOo? It isn't; how's about this moving to the
discussion list instead.
