Although most people don't like them, dongles solve many of these problems.
They don't depend on the machine and can be moved easily between machines
(e.g. home and office, or lent to someone else). They are unlikely to fail
but if they do they can be replaced. On a parallel port they are a pain (I
have a server with 3 dongles piggy-backed together sticking out of the
back), but now that USB is universal it is trivial to add a passive hub to
take any number of them. All companies which in the past provided parallel
port dongles should offer a free upgrade to USB ones, and this might
restore their credibility.

Product Reviews

"Our work ranges from complex medical imaging research to large-scale mapping and diagrams and we need a tool that is able to handle anything we investigate. With Mathcad, we are able to manipulate and analyse our data quickly while at the same time documenting our work, for sharing and publication. We also use it for pilot studies conducted in support of research grant applications. It is an end-to-end tool for research and development."
Dr. Kenneth Castleman, President of Advanced Digital Imaging Research (ADIR), Houston, Texas

"Mathcad is an integral product for my work... With Mathcad, itís easy to disseminate design calculations because the documents look like real math. Thereís very little I canít do in Mathcad. The main benefits come from the format, which resemble a typed set of calculations. These programs are easier to develop by engineers and easier for others to follow and review since the logic is expressed in a familiar manner. The format is what places Mathcad head and shoulders above other programs of a similar function."
Andre Pavlov, Structural Engineer, Florida Department of Transportation
