While we're taking about free screenreaders, don't forget about ORCA, for
linux users.

Soon as I've cleared my overdraft (don't hold your breath) and/or can
justify blowing £200 on a new toy, I'm going to buy an Asus EEE and try to
get ORCA running on it, with a view to exploring the potential of the EEE as
a relatively low cost subnotebook (with open source OS) for blind people,
especially students. Anyone else been exploring this, or other potential
assistive technology-related uses of the EEE?
Some threads about attempts to use the EEE with ORCA are below.

or google ORCA EEE.
