<<Bill in the shower with the curtain open so he can hear it better, his Mac sitting on the toilet lid, screaming his email at him loudly, to be heard over the water...>> Actually, you can run the stereo cable to your HiFi system and turn up the volume with a remote (in a plastic ziploc bag). Likewise, you can get a wireless mouse in ziploc to scroll through the mail. I'd like to see a Newton/MacLite with decent voice output. Maybe limited voice recognition for a handful of "Power Commands" (did I just coin a phrase) like "Get E-mail", "Open Pocket Quicken", "Schedule Onscreen" "Arm Photon Torpedos" etc. For now, I have to make do with Sound bites that someone got of the computer voice in Babylon 5. I was using my Newton on the train last month and some blind guy thought that I was using a cellphone when he heard "unable to respond" after I mis-typed my password. I also want to put in some of the Handlink sounds from Quantum Leap. -Bill_H
