[MV] DNS on MacBookPro

[Henry Kalir]

Hi Valerie,

That's great!

So - you're using DNS on Win XP running on a MacPro (or some other 
MacIntel)?

I need to move on to speech recognition, but the choices are somewhat 
confusing. Is DNS still coming out with new versions?

Did you notice any **significant** improvement in the new version of 
iListen??

Best,

Henry
