- MUI is SASG since V2.3.... So it is the first "major" sonce 2.3. BTW: If
- you registered before SASG you could read in the docs, that updates won't
- cost anything.

- Rubbish. The prices are not lower than other shareware. Just because there
- exist some more expensive shareware this is not true. The most is approx.
- US$20. Even things like Golded do not cost much more, you get a discount
- from 2 orders, a printed manual, a second shareware program along with it,
- etc. And no SASG register program asking you dollar-hungry "You don't want
- to use the express service ?" before printing or saving. SUCKS.
-
- SASG is a joke. It is promotion for the authors. But, reading the
- advantages of SASG : "Full support, reg sites everywhere, guaranteed and
- safe blabla" and reading the news : "waited for my keyfile for 3 months" or
- "Since october no MWB key arrives..."
