Hi Everyone!

Don't know where exactly to put this.... but since I am using a desktop computer I put it here.

A few days ago while browsing through www.stumbleupon.com I came upon a webpage that said it could determine if my computer was male or female.

Being curious.... I followed the directions.

1.Open Notepad.
2. Enter the following code exactly as shown....

CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak"How Are You"

3. Save As xyz.vbs

4. Double click on xyz.vbs and hear a voice say, "How Are You", it could be either a male or female voice.

To my suprise I found I had a male voice on my computer. I took this to work, and on the 3 computers in our office, I found I had 1 male and 2 females.

We are all running XP Pro. I gave it to a friend running Windows 7 and it did not work.

Why does it work?
How does it work?
Why are there two different voices, and what determines which one plays?
Why didn't it work on my friend's Windows 7 computer?

I thought this was fascinating !

I cannot wait to hear the answers !
Thanks in advance,
Dave
