dec talk express prices?

[John McCann]

Glenn inquires:

"I wonder if the new USB ones sound as good as the serial port models?"

The DecTalk USB actually sounds a bit better; different housing; possibly a 
bigger speaker, but it sounds more resonant; but not so much so that it 
should play a determining roll in purchasing the USB version rather than a 
good used DecTalk express.
