Microsoft Sam

Well, I don't have much to talk about at the moment, but I like to post things often, so here it is...

I was messing around in my control panel today and met Microsoft Sam. He is really neat, and is a Great way to get on little sisters nerves. If you are a windows xp user, you should have Sam on your computer right now, whether you know it or not. Sam's job is to assist the visually impaired by reading what is displayed on your screen, however I found a way to use him to talk for you. Go under control panel->speech. Type something in the textbar and click preview voice, and it will say what you put. You can also adjust the speed to make it super annoying (if that is your intention :)

I got to messing around, and if you use punctuation (like ! and ?) you can change his tone. If you add about three exclamation marks to the end of your sentence, sam will try to speak with excitement. It is fun to just play around with.

Enjoy!
