I had fun with a PowerMac AV recently using the voice recognition. Overall it
worked really well if you had a good american accent (I'm Aus/NZ, but I faked 
it OK) otherwise forget it.

The one thing it consistenly got wrong was ... whenever I said "Yes",
it decided to start up "Myst" ... obviously the machine prefers games 
to real work!
