Unfortunately, Mindscape was bought by TLC which was then bought by Matel, so
they're a tiny division of a gigantic corporation, which is too big to listen to
little guys. You can influence them now as much as you could influence Microsoft
into adding a feature to Windows or GM into adding a feature into a car. With a
small company you can call up or exchange email with the company's president and
have an effect. The big guys look at big number$ only.
