I rec'd a package from IBM yesterday about ICSS and they list two
companies that are selling ICSS for less that list, Indelible Blue @
800-776-8284 ($294) and Programmers Paradise @ 800-445-7899 (around
$300) - this is for the develpers toolkit for Windows.

I talked to a tech rep this morning and he said the VBX is about three
weeks from Beta and anyone purchasing the Developers Toolkit would get
it for free from them or CompuServe.

Has anyone purchased this product?  How well does it work?  I am
interested in using it to alter environmental controls using voice
without the need for a microphone attached to your head.  I am looking
for something that can pick up the users from a certain distance and
process it reliably.

Thanks,
Ken
