Thanks for the above line Daniel - this is exactly what I meant by a

and therefore a number of us feel dubious about upgrading to NC3.
Dear Amiga Format,
A serious issue has arisen which I feel yourselves, the Amiga
Community and others should be aware of.
People who bought Netconnect 2 less thatn one year ago are having to
pay about £30 in an upgrade fee to get Netconnect 3 in order than
Microdot II mailer program is made
So where's that leave NC-2 users who may of purchased it within the
last six months?
Secound class because their versions use a NetConnect2.KEY where as
NC3 and vapor users can use the latest versions because of differing
keyfiles?.
Ok paying too upgrade to add new features is one thing
Really, the fact a Y2K issue is present in a piece of software
available until even a few months prior to 2000 is a serious one and
reflects badly on an application which is otherwise very good, if a
little quirky.
It also reflects badly on the Amiga programming community as a whole.

NC2 has no support. Even if Vapor release an NC2 specific version of
