I keep reading/hearing that we're going to have voice input. I really
can't believe it though - does anyone actually *want* it? Perhaps it's
my natural English reserve :-) but I couldn't bear having to talk to a
computer. Answering machines make me freeze. I certainly wouldn't want
to do it in public.

And can you imagine an office full of computers (like this one) where
instead of the gentle clicking and odd beeps from VDUs, the room is
full of mumblings, rantings and curses like "no, t-h-E-I-r you
stupid *!$%# machine!".....

Give me QWERTY any day!
