Hey, Walt!
My great uncle is named Walt, but I digress. Yeah, my former wife left
me for a bartender, so when trying to come up with a sound to be associated
with her name, I couldn't decide between a pop top being opened, or a
hairspray pump... for the air-head symbolism. I chose the hairspray pump in
the end, and I don't feel too badly about it, since we are still fairly good
friends... which is why I refer to her as the former, instead of the ex.
The ex is just a bit too disrespectful to me.
Just so this will have some Jaws content connected with it... gang, you
can set up those sounds like Walt and I have been talking about, by choosing
Speech and Sounds Manager from the Configuration Manager in Jaws. If you
read the help files, that should guide you through it, with no problems, but
if not, please, post it here, or get in touch via email.
Speak soon,
Billy
