Why does everybody want a speech recognition device for their Mac (or
other computers)?
I've had a test lately with a Sun workstation and an edited text on screen
with annotation-markers. You could move the annotation-marker by voice and 
hear the annotation with a voice command.
After a few minutes the system couldn't understand what I said, so I had to
repeat my command. This was annoying! All these things could have been done
faster with a mouse and a keyboard in my opinion...
And do u really want to talk all day *gee* then the world will become more
noisy then ever!

If you think that I'm wrong, then please let it be, I'm just a simple
student who likes mice :)

Annard.
