I got the OED on CD yesterday. It's very a great product. I can search any word in the entire dictionary in seconds; you can't do that with printed volumes. Although the manual says special fonts cannot be displayed correctly in an SVGA mode correctly, they are displayed corrctly in an XGA2 mode with my IBM PS/2. The problem is that when I copy texts to the clipboard, special symbols all become underlines. I really wish the OED include True Type fonts (both screen and printer). Narahiko Inoue
