A whole lot of shaking going on

Walmart has it's eyes and mind on the banking business in a big way. Microsoft buys a speech
recognition firm, hoping to have computers to communicate with humans. What is to happen
with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Stocks are up at the moment in spite of rising inflation.
Cisco buys WebEx, a company that allows businesses to conference over the internet.

I have a cousin who is blind and a cousin who is deaf. They both could use this speech recognition device from Microsoft. My blind cousin already has various special devices for her convenience. She has her own sole propriertership. She has printers for the blind, and computers for the blind, and fax machines for the blind. It just amazes me how she can operate these complex machines.
