Ha. We used to manually make crank calls with the voice generation program on the Amiga in 1989. The best was when we for some reason called this lady and told her something about Satan, and I swear she told us “Satan isn’t worth a basket of fruit!!”. So we started calling people and saying in the robot voice “Saaatan isn’t wooorth a baassket of frrru-iit”

Wow, I had to look that up! I'd never even heard of an Amiga 1500.
