Fred is used during installation because it requires the least system 
resources, which is also why Fred is the most responsive voice and why it is my 
preferred voice for practical purposes.

I use Acapela voices sometimes for reading for pleasure, and have Fiona, the 
Scottish voice that comes with Lion, as my system voice. Interestingly, when I 
sync my iPod Nano, iTunes tells me that my system voice does not use the same 
language as my iPod. So Scots don't speak English? Very strange.

Cheers,

Anne
