Jami, Don't get me wrong I like a rebel with an attitude! March on troops but I think we are going to be left in the dust holding our breath waiting for SP7 even if we pay wish a premium on it. Protel would then be supporting 3 products, 99SE, DXP and Accel Pee Pee cad. I don think were going to see that. As steamed as most of us are, The Borgs were right resistance is futile
