Sean,
Well, I don't understand your reference to the weather; I do a lot of
reading on my computer, and the weather page isn't something I "read,"
exactly, but a page of information that requires navaigation, not using Say
All. Maybe you mean something else?
Also, I have no idea what Dictionary is, if it's some sort of product. I
take it it isn't a dictionary? Mind explaining? Thanks.
if the RealSpeak SAPI 5 CD ever gets to me, I'll try out the RealSpeak. But
I don't care that much, I guess.

From my experience, no not really that sluggish. They can't catch up with
my
typing. Whena I go really fast. But they work great for reading weather.
Dictionary isn't quite as good as eloquence. But muchclearer and they will
work
in conjunction with realplayer. I'm using a 1.6GHZ pentiumM processor.
Others
may have different experiences.
