Howdy,
Let's see, I went way out of line :o), but that last crash was too
much. I don't think it was so much that it snafu'd, but WHEN it
snafu'd.

For the most part MD has been a good program for me, until this whole
upgrade fiasco.

Yikes, and I didn't know that it was free to NC2 users.

Try it, it's freaky. I didn't really lose anything; it just made it
*appear* so. Then again, it may not have liked the 24-bit image I
used.

Yes, yes it does. Not too often, but the timing was absolutely
terrible when it did.

I've used MD more often than YAM myself, that's why when this problem
arose--I got ticked. But still.... aaargh that was annoying.

Rush job? I would like to know what the problem was ;-)

I really really retract this one... *Don't* download version 3.3!!!
Wasn't enough bugs in V3.2 ;-) Found that one out the hard way. The
NC� version is better than the download version.

Right, what if I didn't have snoop dos? Also, there were more
features to DockBar (can you say the cool little 'lzx extract'
addition to the tools menu?

How come? Don't ask me, I didn't write the installer scripts!

Yes it was. In the states AmigaFormat costs $18 before shipping! I
really want AmigaActive, but Software Hut doesn't want to carry
that. (Grr, and I hate ordering from out-of-country.. takes a while to
figure out exactly how much mr. Visa was charged)

Well, V3 seems to run fine. So does AWeb�, FW, PPaint, AmChat, ect. I
think my system is pretty happy. But, I'll check those MCC's and
redownload MD2 (not likely, but possible messed up file xfer)
