An example of Technology serving Torah. Anyone who has downloaded Birkat HaMazon (and used it) knows that Al
HaNissim and Yaaleh V'yavo are user activated. That means that if it is

program more "friendly" than a printed bencher. The Mincha and Maariv that
are downloadable for free are not like that, but the registered versions
are. It is a good idea to register these kind of programs so that those
who write these programs will be encouraged to continue to do so. The fees
are not at all high, but the statement to the programmer is strong - "I
appreciate your efforts and I'd like to see more."
