I need to make a slight clarification here. IBM demonstrated ViaVoice for Mac OS X at
the July 2001 Macworld Expo--where it won Best of Show. But it was not available for
purchase until November of 2001. Part of the reason for this is that Office for OS X
did not ship until then and some ViaVoice for Mac OS X features related to Word for
Mac OS X.
