good afternoon. the market has not even been tapped a little yet.when more
user friendly software comes out and is sold at the right market then the
market will go a rise. as far as the programs playing level is good but
not near what it will be when more used friendly software is sold and more
money generated to improve the playing level. good luck gerold.
