  Mike, Could you tell me how it is possible to download these new programs?
I didn't know such a thing was possible, and I would know where to look for
it? (I havn't yet bought any of the recent programs as I am first waiting
a bit to see  which is best-and in which aspects.When It all becomes clear,
then I will decide what to buy. But for free I would download them immeadiatly!
atleast for evaluation)
 Thank you!
