I used the Echo for the first several years I used a computer, it worked, albeit slowly. I used double-Talk for years too but mostly use eloquence these days, except on the BP, of course. If you want really bad speech, try to Voltrex, that sounded horrible to me.

I have lived enough years to remember only too well a time when access to printed material was very limited. So, Eloquence and Double Talk sound like normal people to me. In fact, Perfect Paul and I have a very nice relationship, thank you very much, and I am happy to hear that he will be continued in BP II. Crystal -- No virus found in this incoming message.
