When I first started to think about writing this, it was with an air of doom and gloom, My viewpoint was that the days of webmasters dishing out freebies likes sweeties in a candy shop where well and truly over. But after taking time to really think about this subject, is the free ride over? My viewpoints shifted.

As much as I wish I was Nostradamus II, I'm not, so I'm going to be a bit more modest in what I ramble on about. First up on my nearly possible wish list is some kind of decent voice recognition.
