Hello, I've always understood Ivan the Terrible (701E) had two versions, the old housing with speaker on the bottom and the newer version using the Alexandria, Igor housing (both versions use the same software). This seems to be confirmed in a post by Ron Nelson. I now see an Ivan listed on ebay that takes 3 AA batteries instead of the usual four, I've never seen that before. Unless I'm missing something is this a third version? The box although newer looking is not a design that I'm familiar with for Ivan, its graphics relate more to Ivan II. Also I was curious, does anyone know if Ivan's voice was done in a studio or is it computer generated? Thanks
