I am struck by the fact that no one mentions the
quality of thesaurus choices. A thesaurus is used
only occasionally, when you are stuck for a word or
feel vaguely that the word you have isn't quite what
you want. So quality is more important than speed.
Nor does the use of a thesaurus interact with the rest
of the document in any serious way. Which makes going
to the old-fashioned book a serious option; it may be
very slightly slower than a computer version, but not
enough to matter. When it comes to a thesaurus, my
attitude is that I want one I know and like and trust,
not whatever happens to be available for my computer platform.
