Dan: this is my concern about the scripts RNIB is using. I would need access to the advance features were I to even consider trying out SaDie at work. I do know that a configured PC and rack system costs Radio NZ around 20 thousand NZ dollars, and that's probably at bulk prices. And anyway, aren't we very slightly off-topic, (she says with a wry smile)?
