I am looking to purchase Dragon for Mac from a third-party as I realize Nuance no longer sells it. If anyone is selling a used (or new?) version of dragon dictate for Mac please comment here and we can exchange contact info somehow. One company is selling version 5 on eBay, but they are new retail boxes, which I believe would require a new serial number, which I believe are now impossible to register with Nuance.

question to which an honest inquiry demands an answer said thespeaker The men and women of todaycan no longer be provincial In thought Atrue grasp of morality is essentiallysynonymous with monothelsiri or obedience to and worship of a Supreme Beingendowed with mo al character Hence atrue sense of spiritual Judaism inevitably leads to a true sense of Christianityfor the two are oneMr
