Thanks for the pointer.  I browsed around the site for awhile.

I couldn't quite bring myself to start the 21MB download.  I'm still
pondering my approach to the whole Speech Recognition (SR) thing.  I'm
gradually getting some hardware set up that might support it and
considering the Dragon Preferred product (around $135 somewhere on
the net) versus saving up for the Dragon developer's kit.  Third in
line, I guess, is Microsoft's 21MB download.  Although ...

I'm also thinking of overall priorities -- in that that SR might
not be able to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear (then again,
a sow's ear may be better at SR than a silk purse).
