App empire

When the App Store first came along for the Macintosh using OS X, I wonder whether I would ever use it because they seem to be plenty of ways to buy software already. But I've already reached the point where I will only buy software through the App Store, for the simple reason that it means I never have to remember the serial numbers, where the discs are or what stupid usernames and passwords I created at the vendor sites.

This is worth so much from me the love already purchased more than one piece of software from the App Store when I've already got home on a CD or DVD somewhere. In fact I just did it with DragonDictate! I was copying software across to a new machine and when I ran Dragon it asked me to insert some data disc that I had no clue about. A cursory search of the bomb site/office where I keep things didn't reveal anything but said Dragon Dictate when I searched through my e-mail I couldn't find where I downloaded it from. So I just went and bought Dragon Express from the App Store and that's what I'm using to dictate this message. (In fact, I'm using this message is a bit of a test since I'm going to post it unedited just to see whether the quality of dictation is sufficient for blog posts and the like.)

As far as I can see, it is not perfect, but not bad!

In the future, everyone will be famous for fifteen megabytes
