-Caveat Lector- Hi all Try to talk in a broad Aussie or Kiwi accent I don't think the word recognition can get those 2 accents. IBM did that technology to get speech typed out..and the companys in UK that do transactions over the phone can't grasp those 2 accents no matter how hard they try to disguise it. They can get American and all the other British dialects but not us!!! They usually start taping when certain words are mentioned. Try saying ufo, you can hear whirring. I've done it and heard it. I usually find that muttering with my teeth closed in pidgin english and saying half the word with the radio on loud does the trick. Ideally the recipient has heard the word before. The other thing I'd like to say about the internet. If you don't hear from me again you'll know why. Last year about May I had a Telecom ISP called Xtra. It was getting expensive so I changed to another one. I couldn't get the customised Netscape Browser off that they gave us on CD. I did everything and then put the normal one on you get from the ftp. It downloaded as normal and then all the Xtra words appeared all over it even though I supposedly got a new one from Microsoft. I put Explorer on Meridian, but it still kept popping up and dominating the Explorer browser. After sitting for 2 days trying to do everything possible to get rid of it, I rang the Xtra help line about 10 pm. I very nicely said , excuse me could you help me get rid of your browser as I've got another ISP? An Englishman answered and blew his top and got really annoyed that I had changed and that I wouldn't get as good a service etc. Anyway I couldn't hear him as my 8 yr old kid was yelling in the background and I kept saying Shhhh every 2 mins etc. I said that it wouldn't come off and I want Netscape to go on my new ISP connection. Maybe he had a bad day but he said - Are you a solo mother? I said yes. Then he said angrily - I'm not supposed to say this but you can't get it off OK? YOU CAN'T GET IT OFF ok ? YOU HAVE TO USE EXPLORER from now on! OK!!!! then he slammed the phone down. As I am telepathic I picked up he was panicking not long afterwards. They do have a list of your email as I asked which ones were waiting before I cancelled the service and they read them out. Being rather curious I rang Xtra the next day and spoke to a New Zealand engineer at the help line and I said - Is that right that I can't get my Xtra Netscape browser off? He said - yes that's right its burned into your computer. Once you put it on you can't get it off. You could try but there's no guarantee your computer would ever work again. So I said - Is this so they can look into your computer while you are on the net. He said - Something like that, rather quietly. Then I asked him who owned Xtra and he said it was American and not connected with Telecom. I put Teletec, the owner , through the search and there was 84 pages but being a persistant type, I found what I was looking for -Teletec does CIA military internet. I rang my present ISP engineer and asked if other people had complained if they couldn't get their Xtra Netscape browser off when they went to their service. He said Yes. So I said - Do they use it for looking into your computer? He said Yes. I asked if their version of Netscape could be removed easily and was told yes. So I said -Was it just the Xtra version that is burned in ? and he said yes. Anyway I got a computer friend of mine to do his best and managed to get the new Netscape on without Xtra titles. But when I had a computer crash at the end of the year and did a partial recovery my Netscape got munted and guess what came through Xtra's dates in the prog files. As I only got the new Netscape in May. They must have made it so the top of it comes off and the original remains burned in. May I recommend using Neoplanet kids version browser to send email?
