You are wrong here, unlike some people, I have no axe to grind for or against any program. I am not friends or enemies with any company or programmers. I do not belong to one program’s camp or another. I test programs myself, because I found out long ago that too many test results had a spin to them… I could not trust them, so I test the programs myself, for myself. No one else! So fritz 5’s power book will work fine in my testing, and will not be a disadvantage as in some other people’s tests. I know this because of experience testing Fritz 5 in a fair way, as I do with all the programs I test. > >Uri
