I think those voices were included for other reasons and happen to work with VO. Of course Bells for example serves no purpose for users really, but I suspect they are again there for other purposes. Of course you could always suggest to Apple they remove those voices if no one really ha

Mike first of all Snow Leopard is a full-functioning os and not an upgrade like windows at least used to do. In other words, you do not have to have Leopard installed to install Snow Leopard and in fact you can erase your existing drive and do a clean install. You do not use command-c to b
