I understand. I'm sure I don't have all the details of what happened
with Mike and N Base.

If I had to distill my feelings about N Base products down to one
paragraph, it would be:

"Their previous products were a bit twitchy, but the current prod-
ucts are much improved. If the company had some way to channel cus-
tomer feedback to developers and had a more formal support channel,
I would not hesitate to recommend their current products."

Perhaps there *is* a better support channel and I just don't know
about it. I've sent in registration cards, N Base obviously knows who
I am <grin>, and I check their web page frequently, so I don't think
I missed it, but who knows.
