I've been thinking about Dragon Dictate for a while, and now especially since
people have been talking about it on the list.
However, I looked it up on Amazon, and it has a 2.8 average rating. Most people
seem to think it is awful. Does anyone think there is any validity to these bad

If you were having so much trouble purchasing the gift card in iTunes,
why not just go to apple.com, click on the store, and purchase the
