Following on from a post I read earlier today, do you have a name for your satnav 'voice'?
I think mine must be called something like Tomita, cos I always refer to her as Tom!! |

We refer to ours as Eliza, as she was what can only be described as an early attempt at AI in a chatroom we used to frequent
Sadly the original Eliza has long since departed but her memory lives on :D |

My kids (well - hardly - at 24 and 20 !) have christened my GPS as 'Sally'.
I believe that one of the announcers on the radio for traffic announcements has the nickname 'Sally Traffic', so that seems to fit ! _________________ Getting older and more senile by the minute !
