Hi Aaron,
Well, I don't think we have progressed that far, but definitely wait
and see what Dark cooks up for us in the way of an
announcement/pamphlet. I'm sure most would agree with me a West
Virginian southern accent is better than the robotic voice of a TTS
voice.
Cheers!

Hi Dark,
Exactly. Plus I'll add rather than creating print labels for the discs
the best thing to do would be to light scribe them using the burner.
That way the image or text is burned directly onto the CD saving money
and is easier for a blind operator in the process.
