I already own the accounting package, the version they're 'giving
away' is obsolete, they're charging $20 for the manual, if they have
one to sell you, and I know how to spell, thank you. I dislike Antic
charging me for something I've already bought from them. It's the both
the conflict of interest and the fact that I'm paying twice for the
program that irritate me. Since I used to subscribe, I didn't have the
option to decline the losing disk. I still view the 'giveaway' as a
convenient way for Antic to advertise their upgrade at my expense, by
avoiding having to find something new or unique for the disk. (rant
