Why go to all that expense, when a very cheap alternative is already out
there?

"This project uses the power of Linux to add brains to the Big Mouth Billy
Bass. The goal is to use any Linux device--desktop or embedded--to make the
Big Mouth Billy Bass say or act any way you want! That's right, we want to
convert Big Mouth Billy to the least expensive peripheral you'll ever buy."

I you were clever enough not to buy one when these nightmares first came
out, and were lucky enough not to be given one for a
birthday/christmas/whatever present by someone who thought they were
clever/funny/whatever, you're bound to be able to find one in a yard sale
for next to nothing.

Just imagine Billy, suitably mounted on a wall, telling you that your stocks
have gone down even more..... actually, just imagine the reaction of your
friends/family when you tell them that you talk to a fish every day AND that
it talks back..... they'll be dragging you off again to that nice quiet
place filled with friendly people and happy pills, oh, and absolutely NO
computers..... ;-)
