There are excellent free programs too. The comercial programs in year 2006 only MIGHT top the free programs, and if you want the very best, and it is comercial, so you will have to pay about $50 or so, depending on which program. Hiarcs (or Fritz 9) will probably not be the best, so you will not need a DVD drive for the best. If you have a computer with memory and a few Mhz. and a screen and electricity in the house, and a mouse and/or keyboard, and only a 32 bit engine, and fingers and a body and brain, then you can get most. Do you have something against having a DVD drive? S.T.
