You're right, the program wasn't kept up to date, although the company would put people in touch with the programmer to make whatever deals they could for updates. In the last month or so, Brainpower has been liquidated. They had good products (I thought so) but they had problems as well. The founder of Brainpower is going on to better things, but, alas, I doubt that the resurrection of Chipwits is among them...
