I have just started using the cube for the last few weeks or so and I was
wondering about a few things.

1) Are the NeXT demos (i.e. Flying Eagle, digitized speeches, whatever) 
included on the 0.9 release?

2) In preferences, you can set error messages to generate a dialog, voice,
or both.  I remember having found some digitized voices for the printer errors
but I can't remember where that was.  Is there anything else that generates
voice?

3) For the Scene application, are there any screens or movies hidden away 
somewhere?  What exactly is a movie?

4) Also in Scene, what is the 'Select' button used for?

5) Isn't the mail icon supposed to display the mail received icon
(application icon) only when mail is in the mailbox?  I'll notice that
it looks like somthing is there, so I'll start up the mail app, but there is
no mail and the icon reverts back to a single envelope.  If I guit the mail
app, the icon changes back to the multiple envelope icon. Just so it doesn't
annoy me, I just leave the mail app active all the time and then the 
application icon behave like its supposed to.

I know that thre are other things that I've been wondering about, like how can
one go about converting Mac digitized sounds to the NeXT, and so forth, but I'll
wonder about those later.  I'm just starting the read the online documentation
and there is quite a bit of it.
