  20. : Charlie, are you using FW4 or an earlier version?  Versions prior to FW4

  24. : Woody
  25.  
  26. Yes, I'm using 3.0 (patched, sorry).  The main reason I haven't upgraded 
  27. is because your material didn't address the question of speed at all.  I 
  28. know I'm a pig about his, but after so many years spent at the keyboard, 
  29. I *hate* waiting for a program.
  30.  
  31. Well, that and the lack of changes that I found desirable.  I *do* like 
  32. the addition of tabs, but had it said "Faster!", or "More Intuitive Setup!"
  33. or something like that, I'd likely have taken the dive.
