John,

Thanks for the reference.

home PC's will someday be an installed product, out of sight like a furnace, security system or intercom system, with screens and voice command centers in most rooms

This is exactly how I see the future of home computing. Large flat screens that accept voice input will be ubiquitous. It's only a matter of time. There is no need for the box itself to be obvious - there just has to be a place for it because of the need for alternate input methodologies like DVD, CD, tape, or whatever. By then TV and PC's will have merged into one device.

As a start toward becoming ubiquitous, voice-controlled computers will become available in automobiles in 1998. This is in the news today. The home is next.
