<DIV>Marek,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope I can do a credible job of explaining what the Amazon Echo is and
some of what it can do. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>First, I don’t know if it is available or functionable in other countries.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is a little device that works through your wireless router just as your
computer or printer does. It takes voice commands and is completely hands free,
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is voice operated. It will do all sorts of things from giving you the
square route of any number, make phone calls, play music, tell you the date and
time, tell you what day a date in the future will fall on, etc. I am very new at
using it so I am sure that it has many more functions. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With A SUBSCRIPTION TO Serious XM radio, all I HAVE TO DO is SAY THE KEY
WORD AND THEN SAY, “play turk murphy” AND THE echo WILL PLAY AS LONG AS YOU
WISH. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps other list mates know more about the Echo than I do. </DIV>

<DIV>Just got an Amazon Echo. It is fantastic. Listening to Bob Scobey’s band
right now. Earlier was listening to Turk Murphy. Before that it was Lu Watters
and the YBJB. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can ask it to set an alarm, and or timer among many other functions.
Ask it to crow like a rooster or to fart. </DIV>
