  19.     I think you're referring to a discussion last year that went on
  20. for weeks!  To summarize:
  21.  
  22.     Someone claimed that if you type:
  23.  
  24.         1> say Oh Baby...
  25.  
  26. the Amiga would say:
  27.  
  28.         "Oh baby, I'm so hot!"
  29.  
  30. However, this was not true.  It's saying "Oh Baby and so on."  The
  31. ellipsis (the "dot dot dot") is spoken as "and so on."
