Wow.
I wasn't even aware Mel Gibson had an ever so angry twin brother.
lol I'm an engineer, and I see it in the world every day...
"Is this 4ghz PC fast enough to read my emails and surf the internet"
"Yes it is sir, for now anyway"
Just get fed up with the attitude the industry is putting out and the fact newbies believe Amigas and C64s must have been utterly pathetic stone age devices given their CPU speeds in single megahertz ratings. The reality is computing today is pathetic despite having 4000x more power than a 6510 inside a C64.
Having said that I do believe OS2 Warp had speech recognition/control built into the OS and that was in the era of 100-200mhz Pentium 1 PCs. I never used it but assume it must have made an attempt to work as it was part of the OS. Hence my interest to see how well it worked. Warp was installed on the Tecra 5xx series laptops at work in the 90s for our engineers but I never used a laptop (never off-site)
