Review
"Unquestionably one of the most important reference works ever published in electronic form."--PC Magazine
"The OED is outstanding as a tool for wordsmiths and is outstanding in the field of CD-ROM technology....Without a doubt the most important title yet to be published on CD-ROM."--National Computer Tectonics
"A third of the price of its 20-volume print counterpart, infinitely more massageable, and probably physically easier to use. The massageability is the zinger with the OED."--Civilization Magazine
"This product would be great to have on the desk of every student, teacher, researcher, librarian and crossword fanatic."--Information Today
"My only reservation about this product is that it is addictive...the OED on CD-ROM provides excellent entertainment."--Byte, 1992 Award of Distinction
