Here is the dictating machine of the future: lanier.com It uses CompactFlash. (This is an e.Digital design. Yesterday at their annual meeting we were told that this device has just been beta tested at Sharp Medical Center emergency rooms here in San Diego. The device was in use 24 hrs. a day and the doctors love it. It cuts down a lot of time in their patient history-taking/transcribing, and it helps hospitals to bill patients faster since their records are completed faster. With that in mind, you know it will be a "winner" with hospitals everywhere.)
