Summary: A Must For Struggling Poets Everywhere!
Comment: I purchased this CD-ROM expecting a struggle to make it do what was required for my poetry. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was (a) to find words of the right register and voice, using the 'date' search facility, (b) to use the wildcard utility to find words for late modernist 'off-context' words, after the style of Jeremy Prynne (Bloodaxe) and others, (c) to build chain-word poems using the same wildcard function, after the style of Kenneth Timely (Luton University)and others and (d) to avoid concentration losses due to riffling. The software is incredibly fast!
In future, I would like to see a number of more complex searches offered, without the need to resort to macros etc, but for the time being, it is the state-of-the-art for any like me, who cannot afford the extra cost of the OED.

Summary: The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary - CD-ROM
Comment: As a crossword fanatic, quite simply I could not live without this remarkable piece of software. The definition of a word often stretches down several screens with examples of how a word is used in sample quotations from writers, poets and other famous people, as well as newspapers and various publications. A friend of mine recently proudly announced that he'd bought a spindle-moulder. "What.......?" queried I. He said "Bet you won't find that in your NSOED". Wrong - I typed "spindle" in the little search box, then hit the magnifying glass for "moulder" and there it was, along with several other definitions devoted to the word "spindle" - all in the space of 5 seconds. I've used other dictionary software in the past but none can hold a candle to NSOED and it is far more comprehensive than any printed edition I have ever seen.
