Once we get computers we can talk to, we can probably get computers we can subvocalize to. People are building speech boxes for those people who have ruined laranxes, so I think that a fair bit of that technology must be there already. Me, all I want to do is to be able to talk to you by packet radio that way. Then the alt.cyberpunks can muscle into misc.psi and show those wimps how telepathy is really done. -- It's the things that are useful in slaves that computers are really bad at.
