Since we don't want to endorse one driver over another, necessarily, we 
figure that pointing users to places where drivers can be downloaded or 
purchased would be enough.

There has been a recent suggestion that the gnome-speech module have its 
own homepage in the Gnome Accessibility pages, which makes sense to me; 
we could put this info there.

I did not say that.  If anything, the best results so far have been with 
the Theta drivers IMO.
