This is really pretty slick.
And would be more so if I could get the dumb thing to write in text boxes other than WordPad, etc. What I'm referring to is my new computer's ability to respond to speech commands. It does a dandy job of opening links, going to programs, etc. all at my voice command, but so far I've been unable to get it to type Yahoo! mail messages, discussion board posts, or this blog entry.
Still, it's a nifty ability, and should take a little of the load off my wrist and fingers, which tend to ache sometimes from the mouse.
Mom, did you know your new Vista computer could do that? Just get a microphone and you'll be on your way. It recommends a headset, which I don't have....I just have a desktop microphone. Still, it works.

Are you sure? I don't remember the ads saying anything about that. I would be happy just to get rid of Compac (HP) ads for service insureance etc. I try to cancel the ad but here it comes. Tomorrow I may just phone them and not let them off till someone talks me through getting rid of it. Jonny can't do it easily. Blast, Mom Ps what a wonderful cybershower you had. You may start a trend!! We're trendy, we're trendy. Wow. Love, Mom
I discovered it by going to the Control Panel, where I was looking to find how to be able to record, and noticing "Speech Recognition."
Huh, I thought. That's odd.
Well, by golly, that's what it is! Pretty neat.
