[MV] Immortal Code

Lernout & Hauspie, an Enron, before it's time.

I read this article.  It's a very true, but sad story.

Come on iListen or ViaVoice, get me off this PC...

    I was with a startup company in 1984 trying to use Dragon software 
to control an Intel 186 based laptop!

    Mac Speech and iListen have sure been a long time coming for me, 
even though they are not using the Dragon engine.......

Immortal Code

The CEO goes to trial. The programmers hit the street. And yet
sometimes a piece of code is so elegant, so evolved, that it outlasts
everything else.
