CM>    The Closed Captioning came with my TV, but with the
 CM>    loud commercials blowing me off of the couch, and
 CM>    giving me minor heart attacks, I'm using the feature
 CM>    more and more, with the sound off, or way down.
I like to use Closed Captioning late at night, so I don't disturb other 
people's rest.
 CM>    If you like comedy, you'll love Closed Captioning. These
 CM>    clowns have an error rate of about 5 per minute on live
 CM>    shows, and about 1 per minute on taped material.
You got that right!  Haven't these people ever heard of a spelling checker?
By the way, I've seen a computer program that "hears" spoken speech and 
converts it to written dialog on the computer screen.  A person could monitor 
such a program and make corrections--in fact, the program can learn new 
words, too.
Happy Holidays!
