Audio Alerts of Problems  Using Speech Software

The Upsides

    * It gives immediate audio feedback on the status of your network,
which is quite useful if you're in the server room working on other
things
    * It will impress your boss and co-workers...

The Downsides

    * Its a bit of a waste of system resources, so its not really fit
for production machines
    * If you're in the server room alone on a weekend or at night,
having a machine start talking can scare the living daylights out of
you. It has happened to me before...
