You should have been there. They brought an 840av 8/230 CD, and a Newton
Message Pad!!! The voice rec. is ok, still needs work. You can do
finder commands ok, others will have to be scripted....aka trained.
There were 6 different personalities, or voices that are included with
the system. DSP for audio is like the DSP one would hear in a home
stereo, real nice. The video inputs work well, and the capure is better
than a Spigot. There is a full s/w package that comes with it...fax,
video capture, and the rest....same that was listed in MacWeek. I have
uploaded the test results that Speedometer saved in the test files. It
is a real nice neat package on the inside too! The award winning design
of Apple products is taken to another level. There is little space left
except for three nubus 90 cards, a couple of internal HD's, and a CD if
needed. Apple is now using a 8 meg. chips, leaving the other 3 slots
open. There is oe thing that I found quite strange. There is an
interrupt button, but no restart. So if it locks up, and the interrupt
won't work, you will have to unplug it. Just thought that you would want
to know!! IF u don't get the HQX file, look in sumex for it! Sorry if I
pissed anybody off.
