Audio Tips

The audio works best with NETSCAPE 3.0 with LiveAudio Plug In

The sounds take from10 to sometimes 60+ seconds to arrive and play . A sound play window will appear.

Once the play window comes up, the sounds can be replayed instantly, over and over. with PLAY button in that window

The volume is adjusted by the slider below the play buttons

After the first time , each sound file will have it's own play window and name listed in the Netscape, Windows menu from where it can be called to the front.

Once each audio file is clicked DO NOT RE-CLICK. Hit PLAY in the PLAY window only!

The sound files are AIF and work well with the Live Audio Plugins files in theNetscape Preferences

Go to Netscape Option window to General Preference, open the Helpers file

Set anything with AIF in it to Plug In, Live Audio (?)

3> "Humor me" does not mean make me laugh, it 's a sarchastic request to be patronized.

4> Mouth Manglers (I've never actually twisted my tongue, but I did sprain it pretty badly once.)

5> Say what! challanging what someone has said

6> Say What? I didn't quite understand you ; expressing disbelief in what someone just said.
