Yes listers; I've heard e xactly the same thing. I do however, have a friend offered to come in one day and update me with version 8 or whatever the latest avg version we get is so I look forward to the happy day, that is unless this is an update that's more trouble than it's worth. Hopefully it's no problem at all.
