  2. Hi Catherine. This group is the best. I've already gotten such a positive

  4. they are a company in Indiana, I don't have their WWW handy but I think it
    will come up if you googol window-eyes. The company name might be gwmicro.
    If you get to their site they have a demo model that will work for a half
    hour or so. you can restart it and get a feel for how it works. And there
    are a bunch of "talking" type products out there in a range of quality. If
    you don't like the first one keep trying as they are all so different.
    Think of it like what font you like to read, or the colors that are easiest
    to read. Don't give up, Lee
