---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: naomi epstein <naomi.shema@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: re: Dictionaries A quick word of warning regarding the OXIMATE electronic dictionary! 1) It's a very good dictionary but it has some disadvantages: the keyboard is very small (I personally find it hard to use but some kids have no problem.). 2) It is very sophisticated. it can do a lot and you have to learn how to use it. good for smart 5 pointers who need the English definition and who can understand how to toggle the options. I found that 4 pointers couldn't deal with it. 3) Its even MORE expensive than the others ( I haven't checked recently but it was last time I looked).
