Try this on for size Ann, my first computer had an 8.5" floppy disk as its primary storage. You loaded the operating system from this disk drive.

Hi G. Cindy and all,

The screen reader distinguishes between the different quotes. Sometimes it will say apostrophe instead of quote, and so you know. Other screen readers say single-quote. I've known screen readers to say, "tick" too. That particular screen reader used to say "bang!" for exclamation points. I think that was ASAP, if I remember right. Heck, I can't keep 'em all straight: VOS, ASAP, Flipper, ASAW, Jaws, Window-Eyes, Speakup, Orca! Oh, there was Vocal-Eyes too. Lord, how many is that? <sigh>L I feel old, ancient in computer terms. Try this on for size, folks, my first computer had a ten megabyte hard drive!

Ann P.
