[TriLUG] Via Voice - Was: Mandrake 8.1 is now available in Raleigh for purchase!!

[Henryk Kowalski]

Pardon the tangent but speaking of Via Voice, does anyone have any experience witht the Linux version?  How does it compare with the Windows version, or for that matter with Dragon Naturally speaking (for win)?

Thanks,
Henry
