It's a popular program. I tried the older version and liked it, but
not enough to place it ahead of Poco or TheBat. I think I read where
the program was taken over by a new company and updated......is that
true?

We tend to make courage too dramatic. Courage is often doing
something simple, unpleasant, or boring again and again until we get
it down pat. People who are physically challenged and who have the
determination to get around their handicaps are great examples
because their courage makes them test their limits every day.
