Maybe it's a silly idea, and not entirely a good fit for the assistive technology forum, but is there in existence a plugin which upon login will use tts to say 'Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening, <logon name> it's <time>' etc? With a bit of thought there could be a number of useful things it would notify you on you - weather, unread emails, next calendar appointment, even sport scores or news headlines etc

...or am I the only one wanting a computer to talk to them? :-)

Almost but not quite - I did search the forums for tts on login, but didn't find anything. Yes I could play a sampled audio clip but I actually wanted it to me more useful than that.

I'll scour t'internet and if I ever find anything, will update the thread.
