[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Nancy,

     First, the new Double Talk sells for under $300 and emulates the Echo
fairly closely.  The old Sonix 200 board sells very cheaply nowadays, but,
I don't know if it's still being produced.  The Sounding Board sells for
$395.  Ron Hutchinson's new one also fits in your price class I believe.
All of them are internal; cards that plug into the computer.  The Double
Talk is the only one which is not based on the 263 chip.

     Second, I started out with an Echo and I found myself thinking uk for
O K.  Names were the next thing I remember forgeting how to pronounce,
(Mica, how do you pronounce yours?), and my newest is E G A, pronounced as
one word.  This causes my computer professional friends to giggle
uncontrollably.
