Eh?

Like I said, it doesn't crash on me (well certainly no more than
anything else, anyway).

The upgrade was free for both NC2 and 3 users.

What bug? I haven't been following this list too closely recently, but
I thought the only problem was you had to use a 24bit image, or
summat?

Nor does MD.

Not at all. I tried YAM, and decided it wasn't very nice. Maybe it's
because I'm used to MD, but I think it's nicer (looks less like a MUI

Granted. Although, (as you can't have failed to have noticed), that
wasn't actually because NC3 is a bad product, just because of an
unfortunate incident in producing the CDs which I'm not going to argue
about again.

Hmm, okay. But the prefs program was still there - it's not as if you
couldn't run it at all and it wasn't exactly mind-numbingly hard to
move the file.

What, the docs? How come?

That can't have been /just/ NC3 though, surely?

It is. There's nothing wrong with it, as long as you've got a 'happy'
system?!

I'll try (not on this mail though). Never actually wanted to before.
