Far be it for me not to give you some choices....... =================================================== Lack of support for products? Bugs in the engine? Not the strongest engine? Expensive crashing featureless GUI? Sold customers a broken engine knowingly? Made by a sneaky company that does not give a rat's arse? Out of touch with customers? Twisted man in charge who thinks he has some affinity with Scots? Frederic Friedel is involved? Bad engine format? Uses a rubbish protocol? No 64 bit version? ===================================================== Is that enough reasons for you, or should I give you more? :-) Christopher
