daniel

ps - i am planing to buy it him for xmas so i need thoughts ASAP

if his pc won't run XP very well, I doubt he will get good results from any package. we used to use dragon dictate v6 at work and basically had to upgrade all the pc's we installed it on to 256 or 384 MB memory, and these were running win 98 too.

- so any way, if i get him to buy Dragon's naturaly speaking 7 - that will be ok - yes??

[oshta]

-cos i need to know ASAP - so i can get it to him four xmas

How can we comment if we don't have it, i'd say that its probably the package i know most from the earlier versions but i've never used 7.

But you have to factor in whatever you get it might not work as well as you or you grandad would like.
