I miss the days of the live typist. I'm not sure if they still use them, but they used to say 'Hello' to you when they started the newscast and they would have to backspace and retype. It was good stuff. It was INACCURATE, but groovy. If you need to get some news, you're gonna have to rely on a source you trust. Sometimes lipreading doesn't help when the newscasters don't speak clearly...ehhh... heh. By the way, I did enjoy your post. I like the new. ahem...
