sigourney weaver, future robot voice

I've had this convo on various occasions with various friends, and the sentiment is always the same: Sigourney Weaver's narration completes Planet Earth. But the only version you can scoop at stores is the one with the British dude narrating. He's serviceable, but Sigourney... she's the Goobers to his peanut butter.

What's the appeal? Maybe its the the motherliness of her voice, a comforting balance of warmth and fortitude. She has the voice of what computers will sound like in the near future. ...like Sigourney Weaver. This becoming is very conceivable. But, it's interesting to me that the potential future compu-voice is the heroine of one of the most quintessential and influencing films of modern sci-fi, Alien.
