I have a friend who has this computer and an Echo GP and she can't get it 
to speak after it says Echo Ready.  Is there a word she must enter in and 
then press enter?  This person has done a lot for me and I would like to 
return the same.  Also, happy new year to all.  If any one can get W.F.M. 
T. on their cable network there is a folk music program on there for 
almost seven hours.  It is the  cheapest party to have and really have a 
good time.  It starts about ten P.M. and goes till five A.M. Also for the 
shortwave echo I went to pick up my DX440 yesterday and, you guessed it 
it didn't work when they plugged it in.  I'm thinking of calling the 
better business bureau, but I was told that wouldn't do any goood to do 
so.

Hi Martie,

[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

The problem your friend is having is that he/she needs the software to make 
the Echo speak. Is the Tandy IBM compatible? If so, she needs a software 
package like Flipper or Jaws or what-ya-call-'em. The synthesizer won't speak 
lessen it goes to school. <grin> Only way to send it to school is to get it 
the right curriculum. <grin>

See you on-line.

Ann P.
