I'm one of those newbies. Came from the Metastock camp myself. Looking for
more versatility and programmability than Metastock offers. The box just
arrived an hour ago with the invoice for $200/m x 12 = $2400. I expected
the box to weigh about 5 lbs from it's size and expecting a stack of manuals
about 4 inches thick. Is anyone familiar with Autodesk's product AutoCad?
This is real software. It cost me about $2400. It has a very well written
and thorough set of manuals to go with it too. The pathetic set of manuals
that come with TS2000i is in itself nearly enough for me to just put it back
in the box, get an RMA, and return it without even attempting to install it.
I'm curious though how it will perform on my Dell XPS R450 128MRAM Win98
puter. Well for now I think I'll just get Ensign up and running on the DTN
dish whilst I monitor this list and peruse the skimpy manuals. Maybe during
the 30 free trial I'll discover that Ensign is the tool I need and I can
return the EDDY BEAN PRIME PREMIUM GOOSE LIVER DOWN FILLED SWISS CHICKEN
ARMY KNIFE to it's maker.
