Typing is so last century

There's an article in today's New York Times on the latest version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, voice recognition software for your PC. Microsoft also promises similar features in their next version of Windows, whenever that happens. Last summer I took a tumble and had my wrist and hand in a cast for some time, which made it nearly impossible to type. I used the voice recognition software in Windows XP and, while not perfect, it worked well enough for me. I know that Professor Sousa has also dabbled with this stuff in the past as well. Sounds like something I might give a spin this fall--sans injury, I hope.
