my computer started talking to me? |
|
Hiiiii, Colin. Baby. I opened up a case file about haunted mannequins or some shit and a text-to-speech program started up. RP. Wouldn’t shut up. I couldn’t even exit out, just had to sit and bear it til the case file was done. Do you know anything about this? Hugs and kisses, Alice |

Alice, Should not be happening. Microsoft didn’t implement text-to-speech features until the release of Windows 2000, and “Microsoft Sam” does not have an RP accent. Listen for yourself: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bb/MS_Sam.ogg. Microsoft Office XP did feature an optional British English voice in the text-to-speech software named Michael. Is that maybe what you’re hearing? -Colin |

Fwd: The Winter’s Night Coachman |
DO NOT DELETE THIS. Hello friends, If you are reading this it’s too late. The Winter’s Night Coachman is coming for you, so KEEP READING to make sure he does not get you. The last person to receive this e-mail and not pass it on was taken by the coachman and never seen again. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. One winter’s night in 1818, Benjamin Bartimus arrived at his lover’s house in his horse and carriage. The maid came out and handed him a letter, saying that his girlfriend didn’t want anything to do with him and that they were through. Benjamin loved her so much that he waited all night outside her house, hoping she would change her mind. She didn’t. Then Benjamin died of frostbite from waiting outside in the cold. But he didn’t leave the carriage. He still rides around to this day, picking up people in his carriage in the hopes that they will love him back. Everyone he picks up dies just like he did, freezing and alone. Send this to 5 friends or BENJAMIN BARTIMUS IS COMING FOR YOU TONIGHT!!!! |

Admin notes: Had this one narrated to me by the dulcet tones of my new friend Chester. Still not sure why the text-to-speech application took on a mind of its own, but not complaining. Gave me a chance to grab more bad coffee.
