[Electronics-talk] tv's

[Kaye]

It seems like I have seen a commercial on tv about a new line of smart tv's 
and the person in the commercial is speaking the menu item he wants. I can't 
remember the brand, possibly sanyo? But I wondered if the tv talked back or 
if he just spoke the items such as sports etc.

But the third time you are on your own, because that is the way the world 
is.

Jimmy Eh?

The frustration doesn't seem to be passing.  it is now, however, being
accopanied by a strong dose of misinformation about "disability laws" 
though.

No matter, I can easily mute the thread.  Just responding to the
"jimmy" barb you through out.
