Alan...."which came first the chicken or the egg"? Software or hardware...limitations in the case of Voice Recognition software progress.... RMBS will help support GHZ+++ PC's over the next few years.... That's part of what is needed. The software R&D to improve understanding of syntax, isolate background noise, languages, accents, clear voice and sick "cold/tired" voice variables from day to day,etc,etc all need to be improved and all will need more computer power to accomplish.

I thought I would like to comment on the question of voice recognition. I am writing this using my voice recognition software, and at the end I will tell you how many times I had to touch the keyboard. My computer system is a dual processor 333 MHz Celeron, running Windows NT, with 256 MB of RAM. I find that it enhances my productivity enormously. It also helps the great deal in reducing my repetitive strain injury. Well the answer was that I had to touch the keyboard four times while writing this message. I think that is pretty good, and that the technology is here now and not something out there in the future. Ian
