I love _The American Heritage dictionary of the English Language_. The
usage remarks and etymological references are wonderful. I have the
first edition at home and the third edition in my office. I also have
an on-line version attached to Microsoft Word for Windows. It is
convenient but not as comprehensive as the printed versions; although
it does have features that would not be possible in a printed version.

Please tell me what are your favorite dictionaries, both English
language and computer hardware and software.
I am charged with researching and recommending the standard refs for
the tech pubs department. I appreciate any recommendations you have.
Thank you for your help. I will post results by the end of this
month.
