First proprietary software purchase in a full year -- Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional (for Win32). That's one impressive program!
I plan to get a Win98 box and run an X server, full-screen PuTTY, and screen for a while, and to make up some macros to make NaturallySpeaking more Unix-friendly, mutt-friendly, vim-friendly, bash-friendly, and Python-friendly. I might also try AbiWord under Windows.
A pity to be using proprietary stuff here, but Dragon is so far ahead of everyone else...
I continue to hope that not everybody will have gone home by the time I get to LWCE tomorrow.
