One feature that's also worth mentioning is that you can change voices on the fly, that's cool How does this feature work? Do you have to navigate through all the various voices on Mac OS X or can you customize the list? Could you elaborate please? Thank you Take care --~--~-~--~

Total install took 19 minutes and filled 6.08GB of disk space. QuickNav worked during the install but the voice was not Alex. Probably takes less CPU or load time to use a lower quality voice. Even though I have VO on during the install, after the reboot I had to turn it on again. CB Chris Bl

Re: Fwd: Snow Leopard changes how file and drive sizes are calculated
