[Electronics-talk] sony talking dream machine

[Jeff Samco]

I seem to recall that Sony used the name "Dream Machine" as a general 
substitute for the term clock radio, etc. In the blind community 
Dream Machine came to be a single, very accessible model. However, 
there are many other bedside devices Sony has called Dream Machines. 
The Dream Machine with talking features has nong been out of production.
