What *really* makes me nervous about "spraying slime on the lawn"? They *say* it's nonhazardous, but do we really want this stuff in our drinking water? They can say it's safe all they life, but the Romans had lead in their aqueducts, we sprayed DDT on *everything*, PCBs were safe, MSG is harmless...you get the idea.
...the CD that comes with the device has TScribe, a really nice natural handwriting recognition program. I've used all three (Grafitti, "PocketPC grafitti", and TScribe); the TScribe is infinitely better (IMO) than the other two.
To paraphrase the opinion of Emmanuel Goldstein from his WBAI show, "If you can play it back, it is decoded, and you can copy it."
So all the RIAA has really done is added another step to the MP3 process. Unless they decide to implement Bbspot's patented "NoAudio" technology...
Philosophically I oppose the DMCA, copy protection on music, Microsoft's XP product activation codes...I don't have the money to buy my own politician, so I take my friend's new CD, I stick it in my CD player with a digital out, put in on minidisc...and what do I have? A non-copy-protected digital copy of that great new CD!

if you spilled wine on your seat, all the alcohol would likely evaporate within the hour.
and why would you have an open bottle of wine in the driver's seat anyway?
