A busy little typist IS used.  There was a peice of
the morning news here in Dalllas just a couple of days
ago about one of the places that does the CC-ing.
It's located here in Dallas and is owned by a woman
who they were interviewing as a small buisiness
success story.  They showed ample footage of the
typists sitting a pecking away at strange little boxes
that looked just like court reporting  machines.
