I got to agree that lately, there have been a lot of bugs especially with
trying to interface the radio with the program. Lately, I've left off
the radio interface and it has worked ok. But, you're right, there
certainly have been more than its share of bugs lately.
But then the price has been right too! If we didn't like what he was
doing, all I needed to do was go back to my original disk that I bought a
few years ago and use that . . . after all . . . . that was the last
update I paid anything for. So I got to credit Ken with trying to do the
right thing. Now someone needs to get something that works flawlessly
with windows 95 or 98 ( ha ..... nothing works flawlessly with 95 or
98 ---
and go away all you Linux fans (hi)).
