> My New Year's Resolution is to install the new version :-) Two days ago, I became one of the upgraded. My $0.02: Do it. Do it quickly, while the inexpensive (US$10 student, US$14 everybody else) Christmas upgrade discount is only in effect until January 10, 2004. I ordered the upgrade on line at http://www.ritlabs.com/en/buy_ny.php An email containing my registration arrived overnight. I copied the email to my desktop so could copy and paste the code into the upgraded Version, later. (Ritlab's email suggested that a copy the of the email should be saved on a removable disk, so I did that too.) I backed up TheBat! (Version 1.62r) to my desktop. I copied some extra folders (and their contents), that I had added to Version 1's folder structure, to my desktop. I already had saved a copy of 1.62r's .exe installation file, so I figured that if worse came to worst, I could recreate the 1.62r installation if I found it necessary. I downloaded TheBat! "2.02.3 Christmas Edition" from Ritlabs http://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/download.php . I ran the downloaded .exe file. TheBat! Version 2 installed itself over Version 1. Using TheBat! ==> Help ==> Registration , I copied and pasted the Key and the Key Checksum from the email I'd saved for the purpose. The upgrade was simple and quick. All of my settings were there. All of my filters and Quick Templates worked. Even my two extra folders and their contents were intact. No problem at all. All that backing up was for naught, but so what. <big grin> Subjective impression #1: Version 2 runs faster than Version 1 did. Subjective impression #2: Version 2 is more pleasant to use.
