You can buy a cassette now with all sorts of professionally-produced slick answering-machine messages; songs, jingles, etc. I once had a "sound sheet" or flexible record with some sample selections on it, but long since gave it away to someone with an answering machine. Call a few dealers; this was a new product about two CES's ago, so it should have made it to the stores by now. Will

A tip I have heard often is DO NOT record the message yourself. Have someone else record it for you. That way it sounds more like an answering service than an answering machine. Anyone can do it, a friend, someone with a good voice. I'm sure someone you know would be flattered to do it for you. I have also seen prerecorded tapes with messages. Some are serious, some have imitations of famous people's voices, some are jokes. Wm Leler tektronix!wm
