Chrsitophe, I am some what saddened with your priorities. It seems as though
your interest on further improvement in Tiger 16 for example is in the side
pocked. Your living depends on your programming I think and I guess the path
your taking takes this into consideration.
Tiger 14 is my favourite program (not the strongest). I am a lil slow in buying
new versions of any of latest programs opting to wait and see attitude from
those who test current versions.
It seemed to me that Tiger15 did not improve enough over Tiger14, so I still am
on the side lines.
With respect of course
Wayne
