Mary the main reason I say that at this time, because I have not
seen Lary's asap, and I guess that I am scheptical of how it can
work.  If he would put out a demo, or come to the convention, and
show it off, so I could see how it really works, maybe he would
convince me.  I know about his money back guarrantee, but I don't
like putting my money out for something I don't know the way it
really works.  Maybe if he ecver puts out demos, and supports the
accent synthesizer, I then might give him some consideration.

From what he says about you having to use settings, that sounds
like configurations to me.  If that is what he is doing,
preconfigring everything, then there is not difference between his
and the others.  When new programs come in, will it still work
automatically?

 MO> By the way, Walter, where will you be stat staying at
 MO> Tampa, and will you have your 2-meter rig? I'll be at the Omni and have my
 MO> HT with me.

I will be at the Holiday inn, and we will have our two meter rigs
with us.  Most of us will probably be on '5.55' that's where most
of us have become to hang out.

Did you make your reservations too late for the holiday inn, or did
you choose the omni.
