I'm a new reader of this thread(first time today) as I have an interest in this technology as the result of the cover story in Business Week on 2/23/98. Maybe this article has been addressed, but could someone explain the following as they relate to FONX:
1. IN BW's 11 page article I couldn't find any reference to FONX by name.
2. The only reference to General Magic is what I would label as being negative.
3. As MSFT's name is mentioned prominently on the thread, could some one explain how the following comment in the BW's article doesn't apply to FONX: Nathan Myhrvold, MSFT chief technology officer, argues, that speech technology, across the board, isn't ready for prime time. The products now on the market, he says, are just not good enough yet.
4. The BW article goes on to say that Dragon Systems has won rave reviews from reviewers for their Naturally Speaking system. Again no mention of FONIX.

If these issues have been addressed earlier, I apologize, but before I invest in a stock I like to get as much information, without the hype.
