DON, IS THIS VOICE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, OR SOMETHING
MORE?  FOR A PC, NOT AN APPLE, DRAGON'S  TOP OF THE  LINE VERSION, NATURALLY
SPEAKING PREFERRED, IS ONLY $165. SOUNDS LIKE APPLE USERS PAY A HEFTY
PREMIUM.  THE REASON I ASK IF IT'S SOMETHING MORE   IS   THAT  IF YOU'RE ON
A PC YOU ONLY NEED A SYSTEM  WITH 32 MB  OF RAM (48 IF YOU USE SOME ADVANCED
FEATURES), NOT 72  (YOU DO NEED  65 MB OF HARD DRIVE SPACE AND A PENTIUM 133
MHz OR FASTER PROCESSOR).  WHAT DOES IT DO FOR ITS 72 MB, OR DON'T I WANT TO
KNOW?              -----Original Message-----
