Anything and everything that I post on here is purely my opinion, it ain't going to change the world, you are under no obligation to agree with me, it is purely my expressed opinion.

Reminds me of a piece I once wrote announcing the invention of the keyboard to replace voice-driven input.

I could never understand why anyone would think voice driven input would be preferable to a keyboard. Can you imagine 100+ people in an office all talking to their PC's at the same time ?

That was one of the angles I brought out in the piece I wrote, and that laryngitis would no longer require a day off.

It was an audition piece for the data processing firm, DRS, when they wanted a freelance writer.

That's quite a funny article. I use Vista so I can relate to a lot of it. In some respects, Vista is a step back (certainly performance and reliability, at this early stage at least). But there are some great things about it that make it "nicer" to use than XP.
