	No sarcasm intended, but you get what you pay for. I was lucky
enough to win UC. Otherwise I might have bought it. I think it's plain
I have strong feelings about UC. It was very buggy. Mike Lehman
started posting updates to his BBS almost once a week and yet the
program kept crashing. What really bothers me is that he has no
intention of fixing the problems with UltraCard. He instead has a new
program called UltraCard Plus which of course has an upgrade fee.
Basically he left the owners with the choice of paying more money or
using a program with the utility of the original PageStream. At least
PageStream has finally fixed their problems and is NOT charging for
upgrades. I have not heard one good thing about UC. You might try
exchanging the program for CanDo. CanDo does what you wanted UC to do,
although at close to triple the price.

If I start evangelizing too much about UC/CanDo please someone warn
me. If flames are appropriate I'd appreciate the courtesty of Email
instead! 8^>
