I personally get a lot of information from them. I to have similar questions. But these discussions could be more valuable if there was a CB representative who could give us the "correct" information about what's included in one book vs the other or if the Fritz book should be used with the Hiracs program. Or at the very least give us a company position or recommendation. Does anyone know if CB and other companies have representatives that regularly monitor these discussions? James
