Wow! As an American living overseas, it's terrific to have the Random House Dictionary living on my PC! This is unlike any other dictionary I've used--it actually resides on my PC, so no internet connection is necessary, and all you have to do is "drag and drop" a word into the search box to retrieve a definition! It's fast and fun and since I do a lot of writing, it's going to make a big difference in my working life!

We needed to get some resources for our computer, because we are ready to get rid of the internet and this is a reliable source of information for study. Thank You.
