[lojban-beginners] Re: Getting my computer to talk in Lojban

Please do send the whereabouts of the .wav files, I think you've got a great idea going.  I usually hate Windows making noises at me, but if it's in Lojban I might be just a little more forgiving :-)

Fair enough.

This sound is played once the user's entered their login details, so
"fi'i" it is.

It seems to be played whenever a dialogue pop-up appears, such as with
the 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons.


As for the rest - thank you kindly. I think it's safe to say that my
computer is currently unique on the planet. :)  Once that last sound
is figured out, I'll place the whole set of .WAVs online, for anyone
else who might be interested.

Thank you for your time,
