Oh oh... I haven't even considered that, since JASC sold out to Corel.

Seems that PSP migrated to dotNet,

<shudder!>

so of course, a program that used to
"snap to life" now crawls out from under a rock,

Wow, v8 is pretty bad. (What I use currently.) I do remember the *snap* back
several versions earlier. If they kept that same downward trajectory going...

guess what? <g> Not one person here uses the upgrade. They removed it
and re-installed the newest "pre-dotNet" version they could find.

As soon as dotNet is introduced, "useful" functionality, as opposed to
functionality some hotshot dotNetter thinks is important at the time, goes
down the tubes, along with any hint of performance....

Yep, because above all else, the dotnet developer is selfish to the core. They
think that because they're writing fewer lines of code, that's all that matters.

but, one thing's for
certain. The apps are "up to date", since, during startup, the user is
forced to endure their "checking for updates" dialog.... actually, it's
probably not checking for updates... it's probably just finding excuses to
take so long to start <g>
