For $600 you get a decent computer sounding voice, plus it is attached to a multi-tasking (despite what Bill Gates says it works in less that .5K) computer. For a little bit more, you can even have an MS-DOS capable (fully compatible) computer that is also an Amiga that can speak both text on the Amiga side and text on the MS-DOS side as well.
