As for meeting famous people, I actually met Bill Clinton. He was in our hometown for Dogpatch Days when he was still Arkansas Gov. He joined our HS band at the gazebo on the courthouse square.

Not really a highlight. I think the state only voted for him to get him outta AR.

Or not.
Gosh, I hope not! I'm already having enough trouble understanding all this texting speak that's been popping up in the forums lately!

Although, I can't help but think you are on the right track.

The perfect language for Voice Recognition or Speaking software, I think, would be Esperanto. I have the free book to learn it, as well as the free MP3 recording of the book to learn.

When my new PEZ comes in, I'm going to learn it. I figure I can listen to the mp3s of the book while reading, and get more of an understanding of the language.

By the way, the books and mp3s are free. The language, they say, can be learned fluently in a couple months.

hehe.. PEZ is a term I coined for the EZ Pocket Pro... PocketEZ -- PEZ

A few others have picked it up as well. It's much simpler than typing out the full name.

Plus, it dispenses taste morsels of sweet words!

Recovering from a really stressful day at work. Apparently, I integrated so well in this company that they forgot what I can and can't do, and swamped me with calls of complaints about things I never heard of today. And they were extremely satisfied with the way I handled them, so it seems that I wont even get the training necessary to threat the complaints, and they'll just keep sending them my way. AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!

Must admit I like the challenge though...
