	Thanks for the suggestion.

	I have a system at home with a 2.7-GHZ processor, a
gigabyte of RAM which, on paper, should run gnome. As a computer
user who is blind, the gnome needs to be the talking desktop
known as orca. This system has occasionally displayed the video
of the desktop but with no working sound, sound in command-line
mode but never once has gnome and orca simply worked. If that
time ever comes, I will download mplab-x and give it a go.

	In the brave new world of the talking GUI, you have two
mountains to climb. First, the OS has to work for you.
Macintosh, Windows and Linux all have screen readers for their
respective GUI's. After that, you may discover that while you
can run your system, the application you need doesn't talk or at
least doesn't behave in a way that lets it talk properly or has
no keyboard way to do mouse actions. Any of those things are
show stoppers.

	For now, the command-line is more apt to get me to where
I need to be because there is a smaller number of series
Christmas lights between me and a finished project.
