This is so very true. The challenge in training Simon is to find different word
that are distinct enough not to give you any trouble. Assuming an imperative
type of entonation when issuing commands, also helps tremendously. Not only in
getting Simon to recognize you, but also on training oneself to be consistent.

Ditto again. Take the time to train yourself - About a day or two - and use it
for what is meant. Simon is not meant for typing your letters. However, it makes
a hell of typist when all you need to do is enter your signature.

Later,
