Title: Unaccetably slow on Pentium II even installed on hard disk
Product review: I have a Pentium II PC. I installed the dictionary on my hard disk. Even after I bring up the dictionary, the response time for it to provide the entry for a word I want to look up is about 10 secs. I did an experiment (several times, with different words) to check the response time and it is never better than 8 or 9 secs; sometimes it is 15 secs. In comparison, the response time from the dictionary included in Encarta is only 1 sec and Encarta is accessing a CD-ROM; it is not on the hard disk. I even asked customer service if there was something I was doing wrong; they said Pentium II was a rather old model. Disgusted with this, I bought the Merriam Webster CD. Its response time is around 1 second or perhaps less.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
