Two things about this bother me:
  1) I should have been notified by New Horizons that there was an
     upgrade available.
  2) I've only owned ProWrite for just over a month, and now I get
     to pay another $10 for the current product?  Amnesty for new buyers
     would have been nice.

The red-dot effect doesn't bother me except it looks unprofessional
when I'm trying to show the program off.   The "print cancel" bug has
nailed me more times than I care to mention though.  I have learned my
painful lesson to save before hitting Print, because about one third
of the time, I don't get back.  :-(  If anyone from New Horizons is
reading this, I have an A2000HD/1, am using version 3.0.1 of ProWrite,
use the EpsonXOld printer driver, and page setup is set to normal with
density of 3.
