[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 364552, member: 9385"] More app oriented I suppose, but one of the little things that make the whole Mac experience just that much more cool: With iChat: you can set it such that when a particular buddy signs on you can have Speech speak a bit of text; for example when my wife signs on I have the cylon voice say "Your wife is now online." Hightlight the buddy, select Buddies -> Get info and you'll launch a pane where you can set what speech and what sound to play when the buddy signs on. Also in terminal.app, you can use the 'say' command to have it speak pretty much any text that comes after the command. Useful for scripts that take awhile to run to have the script announce its completion. [/QUOTE]
