[chirp_users] hello from a new list member

Eric,

Download Vinux which is Linux for the Visually impaired from
www.vinuxproject.org

It will boot from DVD or installed on USB stick or  installed alongside
windows on hard drive.

I use it all the time, or about 90% of the time, Windows about 10%.

Linux does everything and much easier than Windows.
