Don't worry as the China will probably do your work for you  The way I figure it, as long as we know how to ask "Would you like fries with that?" We've had all the job training we need these days! 8^( For better or worse, I would hazard that 99 people out of 100 would not even think of programming when they think of keyboards. But then, isn't programming something they do in India? Congrats on getting that new job! - Mike KB3EIA - |

Mike:
Text-to-speech and speech-to-text should be thought of in the same way as the internet in regards to the pony-express or the US Postal System... While in the future there will be keyboards, it would make as much sense to use them as attempting to participate in this newsgroup via us postal mail--worse, get someone on horseback to deliver your post! .... some adapt easier than others ...

John Hello, John It is all a matter of the proper tool at the proper time. Sure, you can order a new computer via the Internet, but the Internet cannot deliver it. They you go to the post office or UPS. One tool doesn't work for everything LOL. 73 from Rochester, NY Jim AA2QA |

Did you have a job where you were paid to state the obvious, or is this a new career for you? A mental disorder? A fad? hmmmmm......

Jim:
You put words in my mouth (or text on my fingers, rather) CW has a great entertainment value for some... I would never choose to argue that... I do not make light of that fact, some of the most important things I have found in life are books, movies, songs, stories, hobbies--entertainment. Things need to be no bigger than they are, nor diminished, they are as they are... I see now why you made the statement you did, however, it was not my point CW was/is "worthless", it is just not what some attempt to make it...

Judging from the obese state of this nation--I'd almost be willing to suffer the argument "they" have figured out a way to download 'em! grin I may be the only height/weight proportionate person within blocks of my home--and I am beginning to worry about my resolve to stay thin!
