ugh, I wouldn't settle for that old outspoken voice lol!! I remember that thing, back in the day when I was like six or seven my school donated a mac to me and it had outspoken on it!! I never actually learned to use it, I remember my parents clicking on claris works and stuff so I could write, but I remember that horrible voice!!! lol. Fred would be alright, though.
