IBM ViaVoice can work on a G3 upgraded PB 2400! (I have 240 G3, 80 MB RAM,
and 6GB hard drive).

It took me awhile of trial and error to find a microphone that would work on
the PB2400 and with ViaVoice. The RadioShack catalog # 33-3025 works! This
is a desktop mike. (Catalog # 33-3025A will also work, but not quite as
well. But this observation is based on trying ViaVoice with one of each,  a
borrowed 33-3025 and a purchased 33-3025A. And having trained ViaVoice with
the older one then switching to the "A" model).

ViaVoice doesn't work quite as fast on the PB2400 as it does on my desktop
(Beige 233MHZ G3), nor is it quite as accurate. But it is acceptable. The
apparent slowness might be due to the microphone as well as not as much
voice training time/use on the PB as on the desktop computer.

ViaVoice is RAM hungry, a minimum of 10MB and runs better the more it has.
It is also disk and processor intensive, definitely not for battery
operation. The bottom of the case gets warm

Install takes a minimum of 85MB drive space, and when in operation can use
upwards of 200 MB drive space. Virtual memory must be on (it does not
recognize the presence of Ram Doubler).
