Your comments are much appreciated, because I was actually seriously thinking about buying this product, but now I know to save my money. Before that, I was thinking about buying Junior, and was saved from that by opinions expressed in this group. Thank you for being so honest about the product, and thanks for posting it here. I hope more people take this course, because I think the feedback will only lead to better designed products in the future. Roger
