I'm sure they do - I've yet to run into a legal term which isn't in spell check, etc, exec though quite a few words of my habitual words are.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our Fortunes, & our sacred Honor

OK, I got some details. Bear in mind that she last did it like this 4 or 5 years ago.

Her boss at the time would dictate into a micro-cassette recorder. She would then put the tape into a reader attached to her computer and play it, as it played the text would come up. If something was unclear she could go back and listen to the tape to make out what it was.

Never used it, but I had to support it for the ADA department at the university I was working for at the time. Every time I had to install it, I ran into a different problem, from having to track down and add a bizarre registry entry, to copy protection issues on the disk, to bizarre incompatibilities with various XP patches or other software required to be on the computers by the IT department in the university.

The most was annoying was the need to add a registry entry enabling windows use of the L2 or L3 cache (I can't remember now), Instead of saying "you don't meet the system requirements" It just exited the install program. After much searching I found that this was by design, and that the people who "designed" the install software considered this to be a feature.

I can't speak for how well it worked, but I HATED trying to support it.

All this is good stuff, especially with the specifics. It appears they still have quite a bit to go in a multi-user environment, ESPECIALLY in the support department!

Single user support appears to be fine and without issue, as long as they can get past the specific hardware requirements and/or minimums, the rest appears to be a minimal issue AFTER THE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED.

If others have issues AFTER the software has been installed, I'd LOVE to read/hear/see them!!

THANKS!
