- Well, that is ALWAYS being done. The recent MACWORLD had an article
- where the author commented how Apple's CEO talks about Apple computers
- understanding human speech, as if Keyboards will be obsolete
- real soon now. The author commented that such talk is fair nonsense,
- we don't have that sort of technology just yet. My point is,
- Atari isn't the only people who talk about futuristic visions as if
- they were going to be realities next week.
- That aside, the rest of your commentary seems pretty valid.
