The customers don't get author operation, or hardware selection and supply by the author, when they buy a program. So if I am repeatadly told, this program is at its best operated by its author etc., I'm going to think it will not be at it's best when I use it myself on my two years old computer, compared to other programs that do not claim this. It's pure anti-PR. Although I wonder if a program calculates faster, if the author clicks the mouse. :o) Regards, M.Scheidl
