Please let us know when Omega fixes the problem below.

TS2ki,  I wonder if we'll just download a new patch or if they'll
send us a complete new disk.
I'm still using TS2ki vs 2.   Too much hastle to go back and keep
uninstalling,
then re-installing and then patching over patches.  I just need a simple
clean copy
of the new version and an updated History Bank disk.

Layne.

btw,  watch GUMM and ANET as short term investments.
