Well, like the HWR in upgrading from a 130 to a 2100... It doesn't recognize
any better, only faster. BTW, there are tricks to HWR. Hardy of Catamount
Software has written a nice page:
<http://www.catamount.com/HWRTips/HWRTips.html>

One nifty way to speed up writing (but not recognition) is to just keep
writing an any and every gap on the page... You don't have to write neatly,
on one line. I also don't usually fix every error while I write. I only fix
the glaring ones that don't look like I'll remember what I wrote. :-) But
I've been able to keep up with a speaker, writing in outline form on a 130,
and it's much easier on a 2100... I bet it would be even easier on a sped-up
2100. :-)
