As I understand it, it's not that he couldn't reach a keyboard, but that it would be pretty uncomfortable for long stretches. I'm sure he could dictate to a computer if he really wanted to, but given that he's constantly surrounded by secretaries, assistants and minders, why would he bother? It's much faster to dictate to a person than to a computer.

It's much faster to dictate to a person than to a computer. FYI, computer dictation recently increased in speed. http://www.gcn.com/print/27_23/47143-1.html http://www.gcn.com/print/27_23/47143-1.html Although I can easily talk at a speed of 120 words per minute, I often found the program waiting for me to choose my next word because conversational speech and written language are different. However, that was a pleasant reversal from past reviews when the program lagged far behind me.
