Join Marc Orchant and James Kendrick as we take our weekly stroll through the Tabletscape. Buzz Bruggeman of ActiveWords stopped by Marc's house on his cross-country road trip to Seattle and we just had to sit him down for an interview. Buzz describes the devastation in New Orleans he witnessed as he visited the city on his way across the country and explains it's impossible to fully understand the problems there until you see them for yourself. He had some good things to say about his visit to Motion Computing and his impressions of the diminutive LS800. He broke some news that ActiveWords is being tested on the soon to be released DualCor cPC that will debut at CES in a few weeks. Of course we discussed ActiveWords at length along with the InkPad for Tablet users. Buzz takes us on an audio trip through the benefits of ActiveWords on the Tablet and it is a great show you don't want to miss.
Buzz generously offers a FREE copy of ActiveWords to anyone listening to this show so listen carefully to see how to claim your free copy. This is a $50 value and we thank Buzz for his generosity for making this offer to our listeners. PLEASE NOTE- THIS OFFER EXPIRES ON 12/31/2005 so you better hurry!
Special thanks to Tiedye Keith for the great song "Vulnerable" with vocals by Tony Lindsay of Santana.
Great podcast!
However, I noticed some background noise of key pressing. It might be distracting to an ESL (English as Second Language) like me.
Keep on working, Marc and James!

Terrific podcast! Buzz made an interesting observation regarding lawyers in the courtroom using Tablet PCs and ActiveWords. I can explain why it hasn't caught fire. In general, lawyers focus on billable hours and don't want to spend the time and energy to learn new technology. Moreover, medium and large size law firms are unwilling to invest in new technology because of the cost to purchase, support, and train personnel. To ensure broader adoption, Microsoft and Tablet PC manufacturers need to partner with law schools and have law students learn how to use Tablet PCs - that is when they have time to learn.

Wendy, I think that was Buzz. I always blame the guest for something like that. :) Thanks!

Thanks Stu! You are right about lawyers. My wife works for a law firm and they are the most archaic bunch technically.
