Circuit City closed its doors in January 2009 and filed bankruptcy. In June of 2009 the name was purchase by a company called SystemMax Inc and launched an internet site called Circuit City Dot Com. The jury is still out on the pricing policy and if anyone is actually saving money or not. SystemMax Inc, is hoping to make a lot of money using the defunct Circuit City name and database customers. Only time will tell..... and who could have known? Best Wishes In a message dated 9/28/2009 11:53:45 A.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
I apologize for the circuit city issue. All ours closed. -----Original Message----- From: Tod E.

I'm going to be a trusting optimist for the moment and believe this Nuance/Dragon 10/CircuitCity.com deal is legitimate. If that is the case, does anyone know the difference(s) between Dragon 10 and the recent version 9.5? (I bought v.9.5 almost 2 years ago in Dec. '07). I use a bluetooth headset/mic that doubles as my home phone headset (a Plantronics phone -- not a headset included with Dragon). What are the improvements in this new Dragon 10? I didn't notice anything special at first glance. Anybody else?
