The CD version is much cheaper, so that is what we bought ourselves a
few years ago in a fit of extravagance. But we forgot the need to
continually update to a new version as operating systems change, we have
the windows 95 version and it doesn't always work smoothly with windows
XP...........And I myself am a book person, I very much miss being able
to page through actual book volumes.

Respected Sol,
Where can we get the OED, or:
Can you obtain one for this Dutchee teacher of English?
We'll arrange the cost (rather beforehand) for purchase and sending;
it would be THAT extension I am in want of, preparing to pick up
writing books and things in English again, in two years .. after being
pensioned off.
