[Pibe-division] Control Your Computer Using Your Voice

Sun Sep 25 18:30:32 UTC 2011

Thanks Peter
That is why I am so grateful when people email me about issues. Since I was already signed in, when I tested everything, of course it worked great. I completely forgot about that captch until Kim mentioned it. These are infuriating even to me..can't see them well and can't hear them well either. Like Kim, I just give up on sites where they demand it.
I will try out the CFFormProtect
Thank you so much for this info
