Hi Justin Just answering the query for local pricing. The local wholesaler for it is MacSense. They have quite a lot of versions.
The cheapest one is MacSpeech Dictate Retail (with Plantronic Headset) or MacSpeech Dictate (with Micflex). They both retail for $299 as you mention. I could do these for $272 as a "WAMUG price" if you were interested. (Depending on freight cost and quantities *may* get it a little cheaper, but not much). More info on them can be seen here:- <http://www.macsense.com.au/index.php?family=modules,ProductsBrowser,Search, Page:1,expanded&q=dictate&Search=Products> If you are interested let me know. Thanks. Kind Regards Daniel (Apologies in delay in posting a reply, have been down South working and away from internet for the most part). --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <daniel @ macwizardry . com . au> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Macintosh** Note: For sales information all prices include GST.
