Is that Microsoft Sam? :)

(Also, I know it's besides the point but this might be the most painful way to connect to Wifi physically possible. "Make normal everyday tasks slow, tedious and painful" is a bit of an odd choice for a product demo.)

Say, speaking of Sam, what were the memory requirements for SAM (Software Automatic Mouth) on C64. I guess they were not more than 64K? Although, the bulk here is probably for the speech recognition, not the TTS. (And this one does sound a little nicer :)

Amazing that this works. As an aside, and I appreciate this is just a demo, if the use case is to get a device to join a WiFi network - would a single or double line lcd with 3 buttons not be cheaper than 520KB?
