<h2><b>4. Establishing Liberty, Equality And Freedom:</b></h2><br><br>
Never a toy system, Emacspeak is voluntarily bundled with all major Linux
distributions. Though designed to be modular, distributors have freely
chosen to bundle the fully integrated system without any undue pressurea
documented success for the integrated innovvation embodied by Emacspeak.
As the system evolves, both upgrades and downgrades continue to be
available at the same zero-cost to all users. The integrity of the
Emacspeak codebase is ensured by the reliable and secure Linux platform
and the underlying GIT versioning software used to develop and distribute
the system.<br><br>
Extensive studies have shown that thanks to these features, users
consider Emacspeak to be absolutely priceless. Thanks to this wide-spread
user demand, the present version remains free of cost as everit is being
made available at the ssame zero-cost as previous releases.<br><br>
At the same time, Emacspeak continues to innovate in the area of
eyes-free Assistance and social interaction and carries forward the
well-established Open Source tradition of introducing user interface
features that eventually show up in luser environments.<br><br>
On this theme, when once challenged by a proponent of a crash-prone but
well-marketed mousetrap with the assertion "Emacs is a system from
the 70's", the creator of Emacspeak evinced surprise at the unusual
candor manifest in the assertion that it would take popular idiot-proven
interfaces until the year 2070 to catch up to where the Emacspeak audio
desktop is today. Industry experts welcomed this refreshing breath of
Courage Certainty and Clarity (CCC) at a time when users are reeling from
the Fear Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) unleashed by complex software
systems backed by even more convoluted press releases.<br><br>
<h2><b>5. Independent Test Results:</b></h2><br><br>
Independent test results have proven that unlike some modern (and not so
modern) software, Emacspeak can be safely uninstalled without adversely
affecting the continued performance of the computer. These same tests
also revealed that once uninstalled, the user stopped functioning
altogether. Speaking with Aster Labrador, the creator of Emacspeak once
pointed out that these results re-emphasize the user-centric design of
Emacspeak; “It is the user and not the computer that stostops
functioning when Emacspeak is uninstalled!”.<br><br>
<h3><b>5.1. Note from Aster,Bubbles and Tilden:</b></h3><br><br>
UnDoctored Videos Inc. is looking for volunteers to star in a video
demonstrating such complete user failure.<br><br>
