PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you will forgive me spamming this message but it is rather URGENT,I am
currently helping a orginisation in chideock, west dorset, for urgent
upplies
for the hospitals in Romania. It will soon be dropping down as low as -30 deg
out there and the conditions of their deprived hospitals would make most of
s
sick, this is due to the current state of their economy after the revolt of
1990
I am desperately looking for single cotton sheets, gowns, pillow slips,
pillows
blankets and ANYTHING else that would help. There is a time slot coming up
very
soon in which to take the cars out there to deliver the supplies if we miss
t
it will be quite impassable (possibly) so the faster this is done the better
So it would be nice to see our e-mail conference system at it's best and
seeing
everyone helping no matter how little it could mean the difference between
LIFE
AND DEATH for a lot of people, please think of others at this time of year as
it is unlikely that we in our comfort would freeze to death in hospital or go
without medicine or food in kings college hospital if you know what I mean.
If you could please help by sending what you can send it to the following
address or phone 01308 458603 between 8am and midnight for information
money donations are also so desperately needed for medical supplies so every
little helps please phone or mail me for any information you may need but
PLEASE
do not phone during the night as i must get some sleep because all of this
organisation is very stressfull!
please send your MUCH NEEDED DONATIONS AND SUPPLIES etc. to,

Could I offer you my "two-cents" worth then? Grins!
I did not know there was a version for win95 but glad to hear it, although
I may have to borrow a penny or 20 from you too!
I am being given a whole new computer system and I am just a bit dumfounded
at this wonderful gift and  a bit concerned about being able to use all the
new things on  this monster!
I am also getting a new speech program for windows ( I am blind ) and a new
Decktalk synthesizer so I do have a lot of learning to go through.
Thanks for your info.
Blessings,
Wally.

assistant: Hi Joe,
Well, I am a bit of a novice at computer puzzles and I like the version I
am now using but being of older vintage ( 61) I may be a bit slower than
some of these younger   geniuses so I like to stay with what I already
know.
However, I am being given a whole new computer system and this includes a
new speech program for windows ( I am blind) a new Decktalk synthesizer
which is something I have long wanted but a lot of brand new ideas that
rather have me intimidated a bit!
Thanks for your help and I may be crying for more of it later on.
Blessings,
Wally.

The nature of a "console mode" application makes this question easily
answerable by me, who doesn't yet own it:
Yes, you can set colors much as you do now.  It is a console <ie, text> mode
application and the Win95/NT API's do allow colors.  It wouldn't make sense
to NOT support them.
