Lol.
That is pretty damn funny. 40 mins to write an email, with the intuitive new wheel. 'Everything is only a few hundred clicks away!'

I liked the new improved battery that gives almost 20 minutes of uninterrupted use.
On a serious note, how long do you think until a completely voice activated computer will be affordably available? |

I am sure that's the reason why more people don't use voice recognition typing software, I spent probably 10 hours training it, but being able to write at 250 - 400 wpm depending on how fast you talk is priceless IMO. I couldn't be bothered to train it for ages, then I did, and now I wouldn't want to write an essay without it.

In regard to voice recognition, the Vista one is surprisingly good. Having a scouse accent, few people can understand me let alone computers and I was surprised when it recognised about 95% of my words first time, a little training and its excellent!

@ Server and Razer: Really? I didn't realize they had had them that effective. I'm going to have to look into that. I could really turn out some articles then. I do the 2-4 finger typing thing, sometimes throwing ion a thumb or two as well.........

Yeah, they are pretty good. Go through the training a few times and learn the key words and you're good to chat at your PC like a blithering idiot all day long =D
My advice: Do Not use in school or public area =P |

Learning to type properly is a very useful skill to have as well.
With practice 100WPM is easily possible on a cheap bog standard keyboard. I can regularly knock out 70WPM as long as my brain can think that fast :)

My wife can type faster than any secretary she has ever had, the keyboard sounds like a Gatling gun when she's on. |
