I keep reading/hearing that we're going to have voice input. I really can't believe it though - does anyone actually *want* it? Perhaps it's my natural English reserve :-) but I couldn't bear having to talk to a computer. Answering machines make me freeze. I certainly wouldn't want to do it in public. And can you imagine an office full of computers (like this one) where instead of the gentle clicking and odd beeps from VDUs, the room is full of mumblings, rantings and curses like "no, t-h-E-I-r you stupid *!$%# machine!"..... Give me QWERTY any day! Chris Hayward cdh@praxis.co.uk
