<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=185525819-10102011><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>It's been several years ago, but I purchased a DecTalk USB
from Access Solutions using a credit card over the phone. I had no
problems with this purchase. Several dayslater, I think less than a week,
after making the call, the unit arrived via UPS.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=185525819-10102011><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>As for the unit itself, don't buy it expecting for it to sound
like either the DecTalk PC or Express. It does not! 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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=413244617-10102011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi
all,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=413244617-10102011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This email is
intended primarily for list members who have purchased a Dectalk USB. I recently
decided that I want to buy one. My first thought was access Solutions, the
manufacturer. 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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=413244617-10102011><FONT size=2
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=413244617-10102011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>A few
questions:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=413244617-10102011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>1. What vendor did
you purchase Dectalk USB from?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=413244617-10102011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>2. What is your
opinion of the vendor in terms of trustworthiness?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=413244617-10102011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>3. Were you
satisfied with the product you received?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=413244617-10102011><FONT size=2
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=413244617-10102011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Feedback from
Dectalk USB purchasers regarding my questions would be appreciated as it
might help me make a Dectalk USB purchase decision.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
