[MV] Re: OS X ScanSoft Via Voice

[Norm Birtwistle]

Hello Randal,

I'm using a Powerbook G4/667 with 384 megabytes of memory. Yes, I am 
using Panther. I purchased the microphones through a major online 
computer store but I can't remember which one right now. It's the one 
that doesn't accept orders through the Internet from Canada but will 
ship to Canada if you place your order via telephone.
