HELP! My cat made my Mac talk!
Hi All,

My kitten was playing on my desk earlier this evening and all of a sudden I heard my iMac talking in a Stephen Hawking voice. Now I can't get it to stop! Every function is accompanied by that #@^&%*! voice!I've tried rebooting and it's still there. Any ideas on how to stop it?

Thanks!

The culprit:

2. Hey, that worked!
Thanks so much! :hi:


The naughty kitten is no doubt plotting another assault on the keyboard as I type this. It's what they do, after all. I think I'm gonna need one of those keyboard protectors from now on!

9. Our girl cat Shiva (Destroyer of Furniture) enjoys an occassional amble across the keyboard,


but her favorite spot is to curl up o the Airport Extreme N. She loves the warm router.

6. Better than the nanday who decided he wanted to talk to the
team speak folks on DnD online

He took mike, pressed to talk and squaked a loud happy squak.

Yep, that bird is too bright for his won good

I'd rather have Hawkins than a sqiuaking conure.
