Hi: This is Dave. I have to agree with you one hundred percent. If other
manufactures that make announcements about upgrades why can Freedom
Scientific? I feel that's just one more thing in order to keep there users
behind. You would thing that the company would want to keep up to time with
everyone else.
Your Friend
