Mimic is a speech recognition application. Not the Mac's forte. I think we already covered that ;) "The list of games is equally, if not more, endless." That may improve soon. Apple adopted OpenGL last year, even in OS 9, so games software development is more practical on the Mac than it was before. And there are Mac versions of the nVidia and ATI 3D accelerators... Yeah, once Apple stopped "thinking differently" and adopted the PC's bus, the PC's cards, and a UNIX kernel operating system, the future of the Mac started looking much brighter. Ciao! Joe
