It IS relevant. Furthermore, I think _I_ should have known about it before I bought it. ((This is not a big deal: Fritz 5.32 was a fine product.)) 2. In another thread, someone said that Fritz 6 has a new "pipe" feature. It is reasonable to wonder whether or not this pipe has "features" that we are not told about, yet. I would advise people to research it first. 3. If the CB interface is STILL doing this, I think it is INELEGANT, to say the VERY LEAST. Can I have a bigger font, please? 4. I am pleased that certain arrogant posts made a year or two ago are refuted. P.S. I own the fine products F5.32, J5, CB7, and Bigbase 98.
