Yes, what an article!! I also remember an article in US News & World Report circa 1994 that sparked my interest in Norris. I remember text to speech and speech to text was also being talked about around then. The Flashback was being sold in stores like The Wiz (which went out of business I believe.) I went to check it out and thought it was cool. It was new technology and it was kept in the glass case (to prevent theft I suppose.)
