While the visual elements were the most important parts of the Compaq Presario Experience, there were times when John de Lancie could not be shown on screen, especially during the registration process. Thus, audio voice-overs had to be used to convey to the user the next steps they had to take before they could enter the modern world of computer gaming. This is a listing of the wave files included in the raw data, along with transcripts so that you can go directly to the one that interests you the most.
