OT re: Dragon was Re: G-code---for the new millenium

Tony,

Yes. Been there, done; and doing that... (I'm working on a lot more
than just 2 books<G>)

I like Dragon. I use it. But I find that typing, even slowly makes
for a different output. Must have something to do with the way my
brain is wired. (I also do a lot of writing by pen, and have it
transcribed by faster "typers" than me...)

One other point. Dragon requires you to SPEAK. Not so good if there
are others around, or if it is late at night...

Hope this OT helps,

ballendo
