As for the software, its slightly dated (no audio pronunciation guides, and a cumbersome old school search engine.

"I had a wonderful experience with e Learn Aid with my order arriving perfectly in 2 days after I had placed the order. Also, the price for the Oxford Dictionary CD-ROM was the best that I have seen -- much better than Barnes and Noble. I would not hesitate to use them again." E. M., Edwardsville, IL "I have received my OED on CD-ROM and am delighted with it. With it I can do everything I have always done with the 20-volume printed version and I can do it much faster. Also I can print my finding so easily. And as you know there are many new ways of searching the OED which take only a few seconds that would take forever and a day with the printed version. To top it off all this is available at a very reduced price. I still can't believe your sale price of $225. I don't think people are aware of this version of the OED and its many fabulous features. When they do become aware you had better have a large inventory of the CD-ROMs! I am so glad I found out about your company and took advantage of it. You have been very helpful." Sincerely, J. K., Granite Falls, Washington "How did you and the Postal Service do that? That was really very impressive! I ordered online 1:45 A.M. on Wednesday, October 30th and assumed my OED version 3.0 CD would be here sometime by the middle of next week at the earliest. Today, Friday, November 1st around 4 P.M. the postman knocked at the door for me to sign for the U.S. Priority First Class mail OED parcel. I loaded it after dinner and am up and running. What a wonderful adjunct to my OED Compact Edition! The v3.0 capabilities go far beyond that stalwart printed version, which has served this graduate Shakespeare student so well for so long. Although I am a novice to the v3.0, I find the interface straight forward and the initial navigation clear. I am sure it will take a while to probe its depths and I look forward to the learning. I
am an extremely satisfied first time customer. You all are good!" You may quote this if it helps your business - service was prompt and good." S. T., Fond du Lac, WI "The only thing i can say is excellent and well done. I ordered CDs and in 4 working days I had them in excellent condition. Price- the cheapest I could find. Thank you very much and thanks that you are delivering in Greece" D. K., Athens, Greece
