Text to Speech in Macosx 10.5... Nice

I recently discovered that MacosX has a built-in text to speech tool that enables the transformation of a piece of selected text to speech. I just select a piece of text, use my shortcut keyset and listen to the text.

Go to System Preferences --> Click Speech (at the system Tab)

In there you can configure different voices, shortcut keys for function activation. The tool is very powerful as one would not expect, there are good tunings (tonations) based on commas etc.

Unlocker (The phenomena of "Can't delete the file/directory")

Did you ever have the problem of "Can't delete the file, the file/directory is open in another program"? Some processes in Windows do not close the handles when they finish their operations. A really quick solution would be to use the tool : Unlocker.
Right click the directory you want to delete and unlock it! You are done, ready to delete it.

Stay tuned.
