Cool find.

When I was working for Radio Shack in the late 80s' (88-90 or so?) a new radio station (Q107) came online in Nacogdoches, Texas with a computer voice countdown. We figured out when it would reach 0 and that's when the station went on the air. When I spoke to someone over the phone, they confirmed it was some Radio Shack Color Computer with software and a speech/sound pak.

I wonder if that system is floating around somewhere, too?
