I would also be curious to know if it happens with no use of jaws but perhaps narrator or no speech at all but of course, that might be difficult to determine. If it is tested with no speech, you cannot have jaws start first and unload it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan" <dnkeys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 8:58 AM Subject: Re: Overheating Hi, I would be curious to know if this over heating problem also happens when using external synthesizers. Or even when using something like the internal TrippleTalk. In other words, when the speech output is not on the computers main sound card.
