[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Well, since I'm not an advocate of the position, I'm not sure that those
opposed would agree with you that Isumarized their position adequately.
regarding audible signals, Ican actually think of some situations where
Iregard the signals as necessary and not just helpful. I am from l.a.,
and think Ihave decent mobility skills and too much chutzba for my own
good. But there are some intersections that Isimply don't cross, and if
they had audible signals, I would cross them. That limits my mobility,
access to a couple of big shopping centers etc, so Iguess Ican't totally
agree with your characterization of thesignals as nice but not
necessary. In general, maybe, but as Isay, Ican come o
come up with some specific places where they would make the diference
for me, and I suspect there are others who could come up with places
that wouldn't phaseme but would them. In any case, to keep this somewhat
short and answer your question, Iam using a 386 machine with Artic. Just
got the 386. Have had artic for some time. I'm now sort of in the market
for something better. At least, I have an open mind and am looking. I'm
considering vocalize. Hope to examine it more closely at the upcoming
ACB convention and get a demo.
