Yet everybody claims that it so far ahead of its time, that this was
the reason why it failed... evolutionary--revolutionary... I come down
on the revolutionary side...
Oh, and voice recognition is decidedly _not_ revolutionary. And it
won't be until it can be used on a crowded city street or office, and
until I can talk at _my_ normal speed (which, duing to my being from
Pittsburgh, is _very_ fast) ;-) Personally, I prefer something more
discreet--and the keyboard is the fastest way I know of to enter data,
and the pen and "paper"is the least intrusive, when standing, talking
to somebody (It's odd, but when I use my Newton, people just give me
the info, and don't pay much attention to my writing, but when I use
my Treo, people behave differently, and it creates more problems
getting the data.... weird, but true)
And I distinctly remember how my Newton was in 1994, when I bought
it--trust me, it _was_ revolutionary. It was a watershed device.
