[Blindapple] new member and reading archives

[Byron Stephens]

I don't know if anyone remembers the disk that came with the echo card 
called echo speech and music. You had the main program on side one, and it 
had a sound editor, a music demo, a spelling test program that when you 
loaded a word list you got a female voice. On the flipside you got a word 
editer that you would use to create new word list files.
