Read this passage from The Speech Accent Archive:

“Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.”

One thought on “The Voice Meme”

  1. This is not helpful, but my top tip is “of course you were backing up daily, weren’t you?” And one of the reasons I am (still) evangelical about Macs is that this process of rescuing the data from dead hard drives is now trivial for Mac users and still, so far as I can tell, not trivial for everyone else. Possible, even easy, but not trivial – so people still don’t do it. It’s sort of the computer equivalent of flossing.

    Otherwise, the classic approach is to stick the hard drive from your old machine into an external drive housing and grab it that way.

    When you get your new machine, also get a large external HD and set up a backup solution and use it.
