Ok, and I just got an email from Corine who still doesn't get it. She's
saying that if anyone wants to sing using Dectalk, she's sending everyone to
me for a free speak window.
Uh, there's already an updated version of Windows 7 that the speak window
won't run on. What happens when a future Windows doesn't include virtual
XP? What if everything switches to a droid platform? I already can't get
speak running on certain computers.
Who do I call when I can't get the speak window working for people? This
is not fare to me.

Hi,
I actually wasn't responding to that last message, but that's the one I
hit
reply to. I was actually responding to your thought yesterday that you
might
have been removed from the list for your earlier comments. That's not
going
to happen.
