I am a PC guy and got an apple for my work. I learn that it has voice recognition and you can say , get my mail and other programs and it does it. Do ppl use this or is it a novelty for me and the thrill will go away.

Is there a cheat list somewhere , I can memorize to say the commands? I understand you can make a folder and any work you have , you can put it in there and open with a command. It sounds cool, anybody doing this stuff?

Anybody is hot and bothered about this feature and use it a lot?
