Limeware was one of few robotics companies to be born out of the late 80s rush of blending computers with magic. Their first main product was the Multi Utility Light Escort, a walking container and survival tool. The M.U.L.E despite being what it was found itself being bought by various governments across the world and some were still in active service during the war in Afghanistan. Their first real public product was sold simply as, "The Synth". To cut a long technology blurb short the Synth used a enchanted slime like substance marketed as Bio-Gel which let it have a stable frame and basically have the technological aspects of the machine act as an "armor" for the biogel. The first generation models of Synths by limeware found it's audience with upper middle class tech enthusiests so a second generation was almost immediatly approved. The second generation models were top of the line for the time, they could "eat" and then turn food or compost into electricity meaning charging wouldn't be needed as often as the first generation. Both generations of synth share applications with Apple systems (most noticeably the PlainTalk being used for their voice synthesis) due to Limeware swapping spit as most tech companies did back then. There was one major problem with the rollout of the G2 series of synths however. Most of the people who already bought G1 synths weren't very interested in the bio-fuel processing capabilities the improved Limeware Bio-Gel had, much less basically paying the same multi thousand pricetag for it and the wider non tech literate public weren't ready for household robots yet, and still aren't ready actually. Due to this they would start going under and eventually would be bought out by a private equity firm which would drain them to collapse then their assets would be bought up by the still weak but very oh so power hungry tech giants of the early 2010s.
Ever wanted to speak like a speak n' spell? Well if you did, you're in luck you freak. The EX-CVM (Express Computer Voice Modulation) Chip is a piece of mid 80s magic technology which interfaces through a computer (through various means depending on the model) to change the voice of the person using it. They are a highly sought after piece of odd technology but also quite rare as to function properly they had to be semi animated to be able to attach themselves to and detach themselves from their hosts. Modern models have been created with bluetooth connections and are better alternative than just picking up a model from 20+ years ago due to the fact that the spells cast to animate them weaken over time and require intense and precise magical energy to recharge. Reproductions often sell out the moment they are put on sale so if you really are desperate get one of those or hope that you'll find one from eBay that still works.
