I used MyTalk to send those.WAVs to my e-mail penpal in England. I'd been talking to her online for years beforehand, and she was happy to finally hear what I sounded like! I still don't have a microphone on my computer, and so MyTalk -- if it still existed -- would still be my only way to record.WAV files of my own voice; it was like my phone's reciever was a personal recording studio for the internet. I used to use a MyTalk generated.WAV as an intro to my web-site, and my friend Josh used MyTalk to record his voice to lay over an audio track on his computer for an interesting little song. MyTalk was a great tool for people who didn't have microphones on their computers.
Friends told me about dialpad, but MyTalk was more useful because of its portability. You needed a computer in order to place calls over dialpads telephone/computer network, but you could access MyTalk's long-distance network of connected telephones/computers from any phone in continental North America. In the early days of MyTalk, I was exploiting the system by being a "telephone tourist" -- I'd call as far North in Canada as I could, and as far south in Mexico as I could, and I'd call places like Carnegie Hall and Hollywood and Niagra Falls... and I still look back at those memories with joy. Now I've got a crappy job in a callcenter, and I must annoy those exact places with market research surveys; it's ironic, in a way, that the very places I called for fun are now being called by me at work as part of a torturous job that not only tortures me, but also tortures the people I'm calling at all hours of the day, to ask them questions regarding things about which they have no reason to give a damn.
The bigoted and racist ones are those who gave me bad karma regarding my complaint about a racist comment. Your comment, on the other hand, was perfectly fine until your last word was a racial slur.
If Zorgblat wants to inquire about our defense system, we'll never recieve his inquiry because our non-insectoid eyes can't decypher the pulsing quad-lines of their holographic signals.

Five to seven days of being a figurehead for progress!
Your speculation is based on an ethnic steriotype. You can't know for sure if you're correct. This is a matter for the CIA to investigate.

Your offensive, racist comment, should not have been moderated "Funny."

I'd laugh too, but I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, because literary preferences are personal.
