revSpeak, Win XP, memory bloat.....Stupid Agents

[Thomas McGrath III]

I agree with the Bloat that mov.'s and sounds will produce. I tried a  
'computer buddy' app in SC and found two much bloat.

FWIW You can license DEC talk on Windows and Mac and include them with  
your software. DEC talk is not that great but is widely used.

I know a company that does this. Then you can use revSpeak with them.
