Oh yeah! I still have the original disk. I wonder if it works with OS 8.1. Guess I'll have to try it and see.

AAPL currently down to 26 7/8 and holding steady. Nice time to add to position would be at 26 1/2 is my guess. I can't see it much lower in the absence of news.

IMO, we are feeling the sector pressure.

Good hunting,
HerbVic

Text to Speech has been in the Mac
since the mid 80's. (Anyone else
remember the Talking Moose?)


Oh boy, do I.

"You are getting sleepier, and sleepier..."

"ErrrPP!! Excuse me!"


There's also a freeware utility called Talkweb which reads ages aloud:

Going the other way is possible too. If you'd like to navigate by voice, there's Shocktalk:

Have fun.

MacInTalk predated Talking Moose. But yes, I remember it. Ouch. Stole our First Place for the Eddy award -- by a hairy antler.

Russ,
I missed out on the talking Moose. I would like to learn more about "Text to speech" programs and software available. I had never heard of it before. Thanks for your help. John
