Thanks for letting us in on the development process. Having lots of fun so far. As far as the voice recognition goes, I do most of my work with db at night when everyone else is asleep, with headphones. Part of the appeal of this product is that I can be musical at times when the housemates/neighbors wouldn't take kindly to a lot of sound coming out of my space. I for one would probably never use it. Also db is sometimes running with another sound source going at the same time, and I would think this would cause some interference. Maybe just for the ego bit of having something respond to the voice command...? Save the energy. Also, I have figured out how to import sounds into the kit, but don't know how to import an icon. What kind of file does the icon feature want? Thanks again, and keep up the good work. Ryk A. Groetchen windrag@earthlink.net
