Amen to that one. Can use a laugh now too.

It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you 
get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're 
on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, 
the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter

  Thanks. It's late in GA and that was funny. Made me laugh and it's been a 
long weekend. I handle emergency calls on the weekend for a Co. and there were 
a lot this weekend. I can go to bed now with a laugh.

    It's frustrating when speech recognition can get your own name right, and I 
have a similar problem. My name is Valerie but it is often recognized as 
Gallery. Do you think it knows that I am overweight? Grin.

    However, Dense and Psychos is even more funny. You got a love technology!

    Mallory, sorry, that should have been gallery, that should have been 
Valerie. see what I mean!

      Speech recognition is great, but can be interesting at times. When I've 
tried to use it sometimes. It signs my name as Dense instead of Denise. Now I 
don't know if it knows something I don't or what. A friend of mine who relies 
on it all the time because she can't use her hands to type is often referred to 
as Psychos. Her last name is Szychowski pronounced shihowski. So we often 
exchange email messages from Dense and Psychos.

        Thought y'all would enjoy this one. tonight I was dictating an e-mail 
and talking about books and things to look for I tried to say "her synopses", 
but MacSpeech Dictate interpreted it as "Hearst and Nazis"

        Pretty funny!
