Hi Joanie,
I did the .orbitrc thing yesterday and ... it didn't work. I didn't get
any speech out of Synaptic when i tried running it as user but perhaps i
did something wrong somewhere although i thought i did everything right.
I could've spelled .orbitrc wrong or such. Maybe it should all be in
uppercase... or that the file should contain something else that i
wasn't aware of besides those two lines, but if so those things should
be posted here... Well anyways for me it didn't work yesterday evening
swedish time.
