- I have a copy sitting on my shelf. I got it for $99 as an upgrade from the
- windows version. It came about 2-3 weeks ago. It works well although the
- install program created a folder that had nothing in it and caused my
- system to slow to a crawl whenever I tried to open it. I deleted the
- folder, and all was well.
-
- Also, it required 26 Mbytes of disk space to be free before it would
- install. Strangely, it did not consume all 26 Mbytes! (more like 15
- or so I think)
