... Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003 Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003

Microsoft Office home and student 2007 and standard 2003 seem very important to me, as does Nortan Ghost. Hopefully the program lets you select which programs you want to remove.

I've found that many times the best songs on the album aren't the radio singles. Of course, there are many albums where the only good songs end up on the radio.

That brings me to another point. Whenever there's a song that's even remotely decent/catchy/ETC on the radio, they play it over and over again until you never want to hear it. Thus, commercial radio rapes good music by repeatedly shoving it down your throat.

Does Re-Captcha have audio facilities for blind or visually/reading impaired people? I ask this as a blind person who generally hates captchas, especially ones where the audio version makes you install QuickTime (ugh!).

As a blind person, I get concerned when I hear that the latest new shiny tech gadgets have touchscreens. But such is the way of progress, I suppose.

I have an EEE 901 (the xp version), which has the following:

• My screen reading software
• Office 2003 (the Star Office 8 crap that ships with it doesn't read at all)
• Firefox w/AdBlockPlus
• PuTTY
• Code::Blocks
• Winamp + XP Codec Pack

Now, if only sound that didn't go through Microsoft's DirectSound was played at the same volume as sound that was. This is really annoying when you're trying to listen to music and read Slashdot or something and the music totally dwarfs your text-to-speech software in volume.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is ... please, if you're going to put touchscreens on things, leave the keyboard and give an option to reduce or turn off touchscreen sensitivity. There's nothing worse than trying to type and getting thrown into a completely different app.

...Now, get off my lawn! *waves cane menacingly* No, I'm not old, that's just a fun meme

I lost my virginity to a real woman, you insensitive clod!

Okay, that's what I get for not using preview! The correct site is here

Ben Underwood , while a very inventive individual and cause for many "feel-good" stories in the media is, imo, a pussy. I'm going to laugh my ass off when he goes to an unfamiliar town (with no cane, mind you) and gets very disoriented. I spent almost a year with these guys, and they taught me a thing or two about echo-location and traveling.

Full disclosure: I was born 3.5 months premature, and my retinas detached at 4 months.

I call it being able to hear the "sound shadows" of objects, because that's really what they are - an object blocks sound, and that blockage is projected to the ear. With a good cane, I can navigate around tables, columns, and even position myself relative to peoples' voices to keep myself from running into them. It's quite amazing what you can tell with a good hallway, and a constant sound source (soda/vending machines are good). For example, an open, echoy space usually means a stairwell.

Also, randomness ... the first time I went to post, my screen reader was very sluggish and crashed. I guess Slashdot hates blind Linux users.

Yes, I'm also glad I didn't buy an EEE 701. I bought an EEE 901 (the Windows version, because screen reading software is so much better), and couldn't be happier. People complainingabout the keyboards on 8.9" netbooks should try typing on a Braille N Speak. The "original" version was worse ... trust me, ergonomic braille keyboards make sense.

Anyway, I have both my EEE 901 and a BrailleNote, and the EEe delivers so much more (x86 compatibility, faster wireless, ETC) than the BrailleNote for a similar size. The refreshable braille display on the BN is its only advantage for me.
