Customer comments:

"The OED on CD-ROM v 4.0 ordered Friday afternoon arrived this [Monday] morning thanks to your splendid efficiency and that of the often much maligned US Postal Service. Many thanks to you both.
The dictionary was very easy to install on my Macintosh computer, and I am delighted to have it since the first CD-ROM version for the Mac has not been usable for some years." W. G., New York, New York
