It may be easier to fix what happens in the translation back and forth to the Mac side. What programs and file formats are you using on the Mac when you go back and forth? Have you tried to save it in a plain text format or RTF if you are going to different flavors of MSWord? iListen is

Third quarter figures for US computer sales have HP pushing Dell out of 1st place. Apple is in 3rd place with a 7.3% share. http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,138578-c,companynews/article.html I suppose most would agree that it is time for any company selling fewer computers than Apple to get

Apple is growing its laptop business impressively AppleInsider.com is reporting that Apple is awaiting word from Intel before announcing new Mac Pros with Penryn CPUs for media professionals. I expect OS X 10.5 to increase sales as well. 7-8% market share sounds small, but can be good revenue.

Actually, it does make a kind of sense to claim that iListen only works with a certain type of microphone. I use a cheap microphone, and it works pretty well with Dragon Naturally Speaking, but the program makes some errors that are clearly due to microphone problems. In this case, I don't blame

The problem with those figures is they don't show OS share, only hardware. As has been obvious on this list for some time now, a lot of people are buying Macs and installing Windows. It's getting rare to find a Mac owner that doesn't run both OS's, thus seriously skewing the stats. On 10/18/07,
