Uhm, Circuit city is not in business around here. I don't know about nationwide, but in Cincy they are gone. I looked online and found they are coming back under new management. I hope Dragon 10 is ready to work with Microsoft's OS 7. I'm still fooling with XP. Guess I wouldn't have any trouble. Tanks for the tip. Maybe I can part with 30 bucks, uhm, again. I've bought dragon like 4 times already. And Todd is right, service is a joke. Microsoft's speech engine is about like dragon 6. Not much help when a person has a voice that sounds like a multi-tonal garbage disposal.

It was my understanding Circuit City completely folded almost a year ago. I remember the store nearby being pretty much gutted as they sold everything from merchandise to shelves to fixtures. I used to get a lot of calls from "Nuance" (or "New Once" as it appeared on Caller ID) -- and I mean *A Lot* -- that would have nobody at the other end when I answered. Or, if there was someone, they'd immediately put me on hold and never return. Other times I'd try to call them back and get a pick up by ... "silence." I also did an internet search of just the number that showed on Caller ID and found it listed on a "nuisance call" website with masses of complaints. Just say it out loud, "Nuance" and "New Once." Sounds the same. So somebody calls and says, "Hi this is New Once calling." And you think, "Yeah, I bought Dragon from Nuance." Now *somebody* has your attention and trust... and possibly your credit card number comes next!!! I just thought I should pass on a bit of cautionary info. Especially after all the no-human calls I've had. I hope the deal is for real and can benefit a great many people. But just in case...
