Nice! Even though I was sitting next to you when you wrote this demo I did not hear this until I watched this video :P  Is the voice part synthesized or a sample?

Thanks guys! :)

@keoni The speech part is essentially a simplified port of my zspeak (http://www.omnimaga.org/ti-z80-calculator-projects/zspeak-z80-speech-synthesizer/) routine. It uses sampled phonemes to construct the words. Synthesizing it would be much better in terms of intelligibility, but the CPU is simply too slow for that.

Pretty cool for such a simple little machine. I was looking at a few different models of those a while back. :)
