Mary,
     Is it just me, or doesn't there seem to be an analogy here with the
AI/Configurability thread?

      Sure seems to me that these things shouldn't have to be mutually
exclusive!  I mean, if the Discover software can add so much to the
accuracy of the PC-Kursweil, why the heck can't it be speech, and thus
USER friendly as well?

     Yes all you technical types, I realize there may be a hardware
hurdle or something like that which prevents this at this point, but
hey, if they're going to resolve the graphical user interface problem
for us, this one ought to be easy for them!
