[Electronics-talk] sony talking dream machine

[Charlie Richardson]

OK,

So I order one of these Dream Machines from EBay to satisfy my curiosity. 
Are all Dream Machines talking or were they special adapted models.

Well, my son loves his new Dream Machine.  Just plug it in and the time is 
set.  A nap timer and two alarms.  But would it work for me?  Na, it's not a 
talking clock even though it sets itself, it's not usable after that.
