You took the words right out of my mouth.  Also, I see you need a special
piece of IBM keyboard hardware to use this.  and of course, you already
have, presumably, a speech synthesizer and a speech program so as you say
what about conflicts?  What could IBM be thinking?  Wouldn't efforts to
improve Microsoft Active Access be more productive than this?  I support
any efforts IBM makes which could lead to better access for all of us but
what is the point?
