>From where I have been sitting, Altiums behaviour of late has been highly commendable and I would suspect has won back quite a few loyal supporters. Self included. The level of interaction with the user community has been excellent, I expect that this release will eventually ( as with 99SE ) settle out to a sweet product that will allow us to fulfill the dual needs of earning a living and having something to winge about.
