As a matter of fact, I don't think it sounds anywhere close to as good as those older synths--but that's just my personal opinion.  Not surprising, really since I've been using DecTalk PCs and Expresses since the early '90s and am very used to them.

I was told that Access Solutions  accepts credit card orders by phone, not the Internet. I initially agreed to this. However, prior to making a purchase, I realized giving my credit card info via phone to a company with whom I have not done business with previously is a very bad idea.
