Aggghhhhhhh! How can people be so stupid! I mean, c'mon really, do _you_
honestly believe that? When I first saw this "forbidden from reading the
book aloud" rubbish, I smirked. Since then, it has turned up on Slashdot
and a number of other weblogs and mail lists I am on... *ack*

People, please turn ON your brains, get those clues flowing _before_ you
swallow everything you read. Just because it is on the internet, doesn't
mean it is true!

Now, what this refers to infact, is the speech synth that comes with the
glassbook software...

This is really no better than people spreading warnings about bogus
virii.
