Hugh & Wolfgang,

thank you for the link and for your thoughts. There seem to be some conflicting opinions out there about DNS 12. Some say it’s a cosmetic upgrade and that it actually slows down PC performance after a few weeks. I don’t use DNS for everything, just some particular types of writing. I’ve been fairly happy with DNS 11.5. I have Win7 64-bit, Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM but some people on the forum talk about 18 and 32GB RAMs, which I didn’t even know existed… So I’m a bit worried that it would make my system obsolete more quickly. Thank you anyway.
