- Right! I will believe this when I see it. Last April, I developed a
- severe infection in my sinuses. As it started to take hold, I flew to
- Chicago. The altitude and climate changes managed to agravate it into
- a situation where my hearing was severely impaired and my voice
- reduced to a whisper for about six weeks. During that time no one,
- even those who know my voice well, could recognize me on the phone.
-
- Would it not be wonderful to find that one's access to his funds had
- been cut off by a machine that could not recognize the legitimate
- user's voice? This would be particularly annoying if it happened while
- the person was out of town.
-
- I will be very surprised to see these things fly, particularly as
- early as 1994.
