Re: Dictionary and Thesaurus

I go online to www.dictionary.com and www.thesaurus.com.  Since I'm constantly flipping back and forth between my computer and the internet, I don't even think about the fact that the references aren't right there on my computer.  Of course, if the internet is down or I'm somewhere with no access, that could be a problem.  But those eventualities are rare.

Highlight a word in any application, click the icon in the Toolbar, and you get a quick definition or synonym. It's not great depth, but it is, or was,  nonetheless very useful. But recently either the CD has become corrupted or my computer doesn't like it anymore.
