Fellow listers,

        I'm reading about downloading all these new voices, what, some nearly 
150 of them?  That all sounds really neat!  One huge question, though - are all 
these voices free of charge, or do some of them cost?  If so, what price ranges 
are they?  I know, for example, the cepstral voices run $35 a pop.

TIA!

Ron
