[MV] DNS on MacBookPro

[Valerie Maples]

There are many workarounds, none of them natural, especially when it  
comes to your name, IMHO.  Having to call yourself something other  
than yourself and that of all your family members is just not  
functional in my opinion when I have no name recognition problems in  
DNS and it is already available to me.  I have inesvted hours and  
hours in training and correction, and it is not worthy of any more of  
my time.  I am sole caregiver to a quadriplegic husband and  
handicapped daughter and my time is truly precious.

I should have been able to fix this by now and  not resort to  
workarounds, so I have moved on to something that just works every  
time the way it should.  I use iListen for other things, just not  
name intensive or medical writing.
