Maybe, but since most people *still* have difficulty using a keyboard
and mouse to make a computer do what they want [two devices with a much
narrower range of behavior than a voice], to say nothing of the fact
that most of the computing population are not exactly facile with their
primary spoken language either [to say nothing of the *general*
population], I'm not so sure this will be the breakthrough that it's
proclaimed to be. Are you [or anyone] going to be in Seattle?
