I've seen this very feat of engineering brilliance with my own (unworthy) eyes. I've heard the gravelly rasp of our Boony's voice ring through the cicada hum (wrong season, but I'm on a roll), and felt the sentiment touch my patriotic heart. Well done, Tim.

As this is annoying my collegues who get in much earlier than I do (and as I haven't heard him say a single thing yet), is it possible to take the battery out for a few hours and make him talk at a more reaonable hour?

So I Changed The Batteries In About 15 Of Them, And They All Started Talking Again !!! Some In The Morning, Some In The Middle Of Night, Some During The Day. Some Days They Dont Speak At All. So If You Change The Batteries You Shouldn't Have Any Probs. They Talk In Cycles, They Shut Up For 114 Days Then Go Into A Talk Phase For ??? Then Go Back Into 114 Day Quiet Cycle. SHOULD LIVE FOREVER as long as Fresh Batteries Are Installed. Ive Got A Box Of Boony’s, Nearly All the Batteries are Flat Or Going Flat By Now.

Out of the the 3 I have one who has started to chat away....at odd hours. He now pipes up at between 3 - 5 am and then quietens down for the day. My other 2 Boonies still have not made any noise, but I am hoping they will one day be alive again. So the warning on the instructions saying it will cause a malfunction appears to be there to scare people wishing to keep their Boonie alive.
