It used to be that few people knew the code names for apple models. Then apple decided that it would stop changing the name of a machine when it changed the architecture. For a while, you could use the cpu speed to identify it uniquely but that's precarious.
Use of the code names became commonplace when arch changes became significant. For example, when sawtooth was new, two models both claiming to be G4 (yikes/sawtooth) were so different that the linux kernel ran fine on one but needed massive changes before it would run on the other.
Will it do voice dictation? The newton 2000 with an SA-110@166mhz was supposed to be getting close to doing something like simple commands or domain-specific dictation via a project at Dragon Systems...
You may want to wait for a Crusoe device so it has a chance of using IBM's (closed-source, x86-only) voice dictation.
I love the picture on the Yopy site with the kid swimming. What he's saying is "Hey Dad! I found your Yopy!!"

do you click the mouse by winking at the computer?
asci white IS PEOPLE! IT'S PEOPLE! aaarghhh!
Microsoft really does get things right every once in a while -- even I'll admit it.
They're getting into the antiviral act with their own package and it's already proven to be highly effective.
The good news is that you may already have a copy! It's called the "Microsoft Outlook Uninstaller."
Are you aware of any USB keyboards that are small enough to be practical?
Perhaps the old newton keyboard (serial) could be slapped on.

Much of Slashdot's audience uses the GNU set of tools (including the the GNU C++ implementation).
What areas need to be improved in this set of tools to make them more effective in constructing large systems?
