I was at Whole Earth in Berkeley yesterday and saw the latest in answering machine technology. Like other machines, the greeting message is stored digitally. In addition, incoming messages are also kept in ram! (7 messages of 18 seconds each.) One obvious advantage is that you can instantly seek to any message. Does anyone have the schematics on this unit yet? I'm curious to see if it would be hard to add more ram to increase the length and number of incoming messages. I'd also be interested in learning how much ram it has (I want to estimate the sampling rate for the audio). Craig
