>>Honestly I don;t see a lot of objective comments

?HUH? You asked me a question, I answered you. You pursued it,
I tried to explain. What's with the emotion? I'm not
particularly irritated at PQ or Part Magic; I just reported
what happened to me. I think perhaps you overreacted a bit
here <gg>.

I have not had success with PM, quite possibly due to something
I did. I found their site when I went there unhelpful and
confusing. Others here reported similar experiences at the
time, as a matter of fact. The REALLY frustrating thing was
that it was nonobvious to me what the 4.01 download purported
to fix.

They have not returned my emails. A simple statement of fact.
Their license agreement is very restrictive for personal
use. I think you agree (or I thought you did). BTW, I
have since found a 5-pc license at buy.com which seems
reasonable to me. BUT ...

The real bottom line is, it didn't do the job. I consider
this a valid complaint about a product. Old-fashioned of
me, I know, but there it is ... <g>.

When I get more time to look into it, I intend to continue
to work on PM to see what went wrong. If I find a reportable
bug, I'll report it and try to get it fixed. If I find I
screwed something up, I'll report that here, not for confession
but to help others possibly in the same boat. Maybe I'm the
only one in the boat. Who knows?

Now, Sean, for goodness sake, SHUT UP about PQ, PM, and your
assumptions about my feelings about it <ggg>. Surely you have
more important things to bitch about (to paraphrase a friend of
mine <GGG>).
