No my point was that NC2 hasn't been supported in 11 months and a new
version is currently being supported.  The growing pains of keyfiles, who
gets the update who doesn't, etc are over.

Agreed.

Like it or not the version you PAID for is dated.

As I said before that's understandable.  And I want bugfixes for Voyager 3
Final, MD2 1.4.4, etc.

Umm, excuse me I am thinking clearly, it just happens to be a different
viewpoint from yours.  I will kindly not discuss this any longer if you
wish.

Your appliance has been in service for nearly 3 years, hasn't been serviced
in 1 and has been replaced by a new model.

That's not surprising considering how many pieces of software from 1988 are
date sensitive.  I don't think half the amigans out there even bothered
setting their clocks (If of course the model even came with one) until web
software became available for the average user on this platform. 

> You should be working for MS, selling bugfixes as new features

I've always respected your posts Patrick, I'm somewhat surprised you would
get personal.  It's not about MS, it's about supporting what is current so
there will be a current.
