Thanks for that interesting synopsis clive. I will definitely stick with
what I have, but it was very interesting to know how much it had changed.
I hope you enjoy the games as much.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Subject: [access-uk] Franklin LM6000SE, old friend, new voice
Hello everyone,
I took delivery of my Franklin LM600SE Language Master yesterday, 30 august.
after unpacking it I noticed there are a few differences. the main one is
the voice, which sounds like an improved Microsoft Mary. although the
speech speed can be adjusted, I found when reading a help or grammar screen
it is spoken slowly and rather jerkily. also, when turned on, you now
hear: "Resuming, you are at the typing screen". There is nothing spoken
when you turn the unit off. also, when you enter identify mode to explore
the keyboard, pressing the clear key now doesn't exit this mode. You have
to press the identify key again and carry on what you were doing.
The audio instructions now come on a standard CD with a man reading the text
with demonstrations of each topic on the unit. they are divided into 14
sections which you can easily navigate by selecting the appropriate track.
the unit comes with all accessories, including a pair of over-the-ear
headphones. there isn't a mains adaptor. the leatherette case comes rolled
up in a plastic bag tucked under the plastic packaging containing the unit.
It is a tight fit and you slip the unit in with the narrow front end first
so the zip runs along the back edge.
These are my initial findings. If I come across any other differences I
will share them with you.
Best wishes,
Clive Pallett
