Automator with voice commands........ Very interesting idea - I can try it out as soon as I install Tiger *looks at DVD on desk...* [I work for MacShopNW - www.macshop.com Yes our website sucks -, So I got a copy early - we got our retail boxes on Monday
] -- I don't see why it wouldn't... Doesn't spoken interface let you type? [I'll check that too ^_^ ]We should meet up sometime [*hopes to get an FC soon* - btw graycobra, I haven't heard back from you...?]
Damn, it did start!

Heh, I just got bored and made a headless carputer today (headless=no display).
Can control winamp just fine because of the directx input global hotkeys, have a really small hdd in it right now, was more an experiment to see if I could. Works like a charm, kinda wish i did it earlier now lol

Hey Phil what are you up to buddy? Did you get anywhere on you CF projects?
I recently hooked up with a guy that is into composites, and presently learning all the tricks of the trade. This guy is a pretty neat dude he used to work for Burt Rutan back in the day, and now works for a aeronautical company making pusher prop racing planes.
I havnt done anything particularly great yet but am working on trying to find a nitch in the market I can exploit.

Here's mine all installed. I opted to use a laptop and docking station for flexibility. Used a Lilliput 7" not flush mounted but next best thing to it. Also my Haltech can be tuned through it via hooking into the 4port USB2 hub I neatly installed in the ashtray.
enjoy... I sure am (no skipping, and endless music with no commercials)
