Hello,
thanks for the information.  I am not sure how old the CD drive is in this 
computer.  When I lived in northern Kentucky there was a computer shop where 
they built computers for people.  I had dealt with them for years.  Back in 
the 190's.  My first speach program was Artic for Doss.  I was going to get 
a computer and I wasn't sure where to get one.  So I went to that place. 
The man said they would build the computer for me and install the speach. 
He said they had never worked with a speach program but was willing to make 
it work for me.  They had been a good place and very helpful through the 
years.  Now that I am living in Louisville It is too far to go to them. That 
is about an hour and a half drive.
