You've got that right, Ed. I don't even own your product and still I've mentioned you a couple of times to people. Once in a forum, the other time in an email. (By the way, the reason I haven't tried your software is solely due to my reluctance to learn yet one more program from scratch. It's all I can do here to try and figure out SilverFast AI. Meanwhile I've been leaning on Insight.)
