As for less than perfect, in today's age of Digital broadcasters the version you get is a whole heap better than when it was done with a cassette recorder. And it was dishonest back then.

Sorry, I don't think you have a chance of convincing Apple of that business model. Actually the Windows Store says Ultimate 'starts at $219.99' so I don't know it may be even more expensive if you include some of the features like 'sharing photos and music' and 'creating a home network' and 'added security'. How novel. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
