Thanks. I was totally unaware of this. Probably because it stopped being sold before I started diving, and I never stumbled across a mention of it.
Well, I still think it's a good idea, and googling around it seems like several reviewers of the actual device did as well. But, it was tried and isn't being sold now, so there was some problem somewhere. Maybe just too expensive at the time, or had other negatives that offset the neat voice feature. Maybe other manufacturers need to wait for patent expiration to add the feature. Or maybe I'm just wrong about the market size for this.
Anyway, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
In those day's(somewhere in the mid 90's) it was more then double the price,as a normal computer.
So the price was one thing that killed it.
