MB> Speech synthesis is a toy.
 
Poorly implemented speech synthesis might be a toy, though I would even
argue that.
 
Speech synthesis is essential to many applications:
        *  Programs for blind people
        *  Security software which needs to notify someone who can't
           always be in visual range of the computer
        *  Educational programs--thousands of important applications here

Point made, no additional bandwidth needed ...
