[DECtalk] question about sapi dectalk

Sat May 7 08:28:00 EDT 2011

i could see why you would call this 86 a lot of people talk about 86 in that way. maybe you should 86 this dectalk project. there's another example of 86.

I'm saying that because if someone is thrown out of a bar, it's called being 86ed.  So, I want to 86 this version of the planet, so I'm unofficially calling this version 86.
