CyberAssistant is a Control Panel that gives your Macintosh a personality. It takes advantage of Apple's PlainTalk‚Ñ¢ software, giving your Macintosh a voice with which to speak. You can have your system speak to you each time it is started, have your system speak to you when it has been idle for too long, or speak the time each half-hour. CyberAssistant is customizable, allowing you to turn on and off each option as you see fit.
CyberAssistant is not just a voice for your computer, but also an assistant. It can alert you at startup when your startup disk falls below a certain amount of disk space. It can also configure certain aspects of your system at startup so that you can more reliably count on your system being configured a certain way. For example, CyberAssitant can turn on or off file sharing at startup, set the color depth of you main monitor, and empty the trash. These options are all performed at startup, allowing you to count on your system starting up in a consistent way (a real nice feature for those who share systems with multiple users).
