Imagine if, every Thursday, your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining.

Popups

I’ve just come across another reason why popups should be avoided like the plague.

According to the ScanSoft Dragon Knowledge Base, when using Dragon 7 with Internet Explorer , the application is unable to access popups. ScanSoft don’t offer any real solution to this problem , other than recommending using a keyboard - which is hardly helpful.

I’ve been unable to find out whether Dragon 8 suffers from the same problem but in the meantime, remember - popups are almost certainly bad for a dragon’s health!
