Speakup without a synth

Wed Jul 20 17:59:21 UTC 2005

Great stuff, cheers.

I've got enough to start now, when I get round to it, I will probably right 
that stuff into a document and send it off to you guys so you can put it on 
your sights or whatever, +, it will be handy when I come to installing it in 
the future, because I'm a bit thick like that, so I'll forget *smile*...

Cheers,

Chris Norman.
