I'd like to get a vanilla English dictionary for my Mac, but I think
there aren't any.

Here's what I know about:

	WordFinder - I have this and I like it very much, but it's
		a thesaurus, not a dictionary.

	Big Thesaurus - This looks nicer than WordFinder, and heads
		each group of synonyms with a brief definition; but
		again, it's not a dictionary.

	Webster's Ninth (?) New Collegiate Dictionary - has all
		illustrations, plus recorded pronunciations; so big
		it has to live on a CD-ROM.  If I had a gigabyte hard
		disk, this would be great!  (But I don't even have
		a CD-ROM drive--yet.)  Truly, a product ahead
		of its time...by eight or ten years....

Have I missed anything?
