I will not be buying Rebel 10, because of the loss of the autoplayer support. I
do not like the loss of TASCboard support either, but since TASC has never
helped anyone work with their board, I can understand it. But Rebel 9 will be my
last Rebel until autoplayer support is put back in. Rebel 9 is far stronger than
I am, and so I do not need to upgrade to play a stronger program. The only
reason I have to upgrade is to play it against other programs, and I do not have
the time to do this manually, either. Removing features is not a way to get
people to upgrade.

Only one customer, but...
