5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Electronic Dictionary!, September 2, 2004

By	Peter H. Heron - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
