Hi Stefan,
I believe nobody could contact Millenium for the last 9 days because Ossie
usually closes his business for the Jewish Passover holiday.
I just received an email from them this morning. Part of the communication
included the following, "Shredder 3 full version is nearly sold out".
Perhaps that is where the confusion is.
When I just attempted to go to their web site, I received the following message:

My German is not very good.
Stefan... maybe you can help clear this all up for everyone.
Thanks.
Steve (ICD/Your Move)
