I think that one of the best things that could ever happen (and will
happen), is when there is finally a way for your computer to "read" a
recipe or receipt or whatever and turn it into a text file.  I don't
think this is too far fetched for type, but it is probably pretty distant
for hand-written stuff.

When it does happen, though, it will be the beginning of true usefulness
for the "Average Joe."
