|
| 11/14/2010 3:33:34 AM | works ok, except occasionally an app will get a "not responding" message, it will stay there for maybe 30 seconds, then the program will start running again. Sounds like something is not exactly right when a program stops responding, even for a little. |
|

|
| 11/23/2010 4:54:44 PM | There should be an easier way to add computers when you purchase another CD with another license |
