LOL, I'll say!! (punct. sic. ;-) ) It also doesn't register a "U" after 
an "O" or an "S" after an "I". And the dollar sign has two lines. I've 
been thinking of trading it in but I'll just wait until voice 
recognition is sufficiently easy to use ;-)

On the subject of input devices, what ever happened to the 3D virtual 
worlds we were supposed to be having, with the headsets and the 
gloves...? I remember going to a place in Perth circa 1995 where there 
was an Amiga (reminisces) hooked up to about $100,000 worth of interface 
hardware that did that... why hasn't that become affordable yet? I don't 
think it was anything special, just a bunch of motion sensors and two 
tiny LCDs... (They probably found that prolonged use caused some hideous 
medical problem of the eyes... oh well just hook it straight into the 
cortex and watch what happens to the microsoft users then ;-) )
