Hi Mary, it's the weekend, so I'm assuming nothing's open.  I have to go to 
humanware for support since it's there unit.  You can bet your life I'll be on 
the phone to my contact first thing Monday morning.  Not only did I get no mac 
software, but neither did I get current windows software. I've got 1.0 and 
they're on 1.2.

Now I'll grant you it's been running in my virtual machine, but still, I've had 
at least 6 or 8 crashes in the hour I've been using it.  The previous and next 
page commands don't seem to be working.  The quality of the speech is nowhere 
near what the synthesizers are capable of.  It's fine for scanning regular 
black and white, but it doesn't do so well with pamphlets.  The documentation 
is sketchy, and the tutorial videos are impossibly boring.  I'm sure I'd like 
this thing better if I had the most up-to-date software for my current platform 
of choice and documentation that was complete and didn't suck.

Right now though it's just not impressing $2000 worth out of me.

Best,

Erik Burggraaf
