Speak N Spell: the Retroputer Brian Korte | Executive Director 
If you can't remember those long car rides as a child with your Speak and
Spell, you can feel ashamed no more, thanks to a downloadable program
called Speak and Spell Simulator (SASS). SASS is exactly what the name
suggests: an almost exact replica
of the Texas Instruments Speak and Spell toy.
I don't know about you, but this author spent many a car trip playing with the family's Speak and Spell. Word games like "Say It" and "Mystery Word" remain timeless classics in this ingenious little program that downloads in just a few short minutes from the SASS Web site. Pretty soon, you'll find yourself recalling all of the classics, spelling out dirty words and doing all of that good stuff like you used to do when you were younger. For those of you who didn't grow up during the late 70's and 80's, it may be a mystery to you how the newer generations seem to be so quick at learning computers. With games like those found on the Speak and Spell, you can discover for yourself how Texas Instruments broke the "computer intimidation" barrier with their Speak and Spell model. SASS is the closest thing to it. Check it out for a free download. By the way, if anyone is interested, the designers of SASS are developing a Speak and Math simulator as well. This was my absolute favorite. The SASS site has announced the plans, but the page is last dated November 1999. I suppose only time will tell.
