$11,200 for software that doesn't work?
Anyway, http://www.lifesystems.us/ states -
"Windows XP is the necessary operating system. A Pentium 3 or 4 Processor
operating at 1.5 Ghz with 512 megabytes of RAM and ample hard drive capacity
is recommended. A 25 pin parallel port and a USB port are essential
components. "
But also -
"All components are warranted for one full year against manufacturing
defects. Technical support will be provided free of charge for 90 days
following delivery. Such support will pertain only to the L.I.F.E. System,
not to the Windows operating system."
It sounds like a bit of double-dutch to me. XP (no mention of Home or Pro)
is necessary, but no support to the OS????
