Thank you Pam!  I didn't mean to spark off such a controversy ... Glad to
finally hear from an APH official.  Yeah, Rob Meredith is a good explanation
for a lot of interesting phenomena. But, thanks for straightening me out.
Guess we still have a few years for synthetic speech to sound as good as
that.  Oh well, it was a good few moments of hope.

I'm done now,
Sarah

Hello, Everyone:

I just want to clarify something in hopes that we can move on:

The MP3 manual is the same thing that is on your cassette manual. It
was recorded here in our Talking Book Studioes, by one of our narrators,
Carrie Cundiff. Though often confused and accused as not being
authentic, she is, in fact, a real person. In order for the whole thing
to fit on one side of the cassette, the file was edited by none other
than Rob Meredith (a name you should all know and recognize), so that
the pauses and breaths were taken out. You may choose to believe
otherwise, but now you know the truth! Last word: She is real!
