I used to have this problem too, it was always "gee, if I wrote this it would make a zillion bucks, and I could use it too." These days, I like to throw those ideas out to the Amiga community because a) I know I won't have time to implement them, but b) if someone else does I'd like to use them. > I tend to type fast (83+ on a broken-down Selectric, 90++ on a word- > processor), but even that isn't fast enough to keep up with thought processes > (I get frustrated trying to write stories, journals, etc. because I lose the > thought by the time my fingers catch up). This is what a dictaphone was designed for. You dictate to it at upwards of 150 - 250 words/minute and then hand the tape to someone who will transcribe it for you into a document for $20. Really a wonderful device. [I've deleted the idea, which is essentially "word-abbrev" mode in EMACS. This is a nice feature and I believe it is in one of the microEMACS' out there.] --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
