The truth is that there are more than two deadly words that crash eloquence. There is
a larger problem here that HJ
needs to address. For example, I download mp3's from newsgroups and sometimes the
titles are so long that you can't
tell what the song is when you view details in windows explorer. In these cases I hit
alt+enter to bring up the properties
for the file so I can hear the full song title. In about two or three cases whatever
text eloquence tried to speak in the file
properties crashed my system as well, wildly spinning hard drive, wildly clicking pc
speaker, etc. I hope that when or if
HJ ever gets around to fixing this they don't just focus in on making these two words
speak properly because that's not
the full scope of the problem.
