Most things look a lot easier after you've already done it once... :)
You're probably right that it works OK, but it takes some persistence to get
started and over the newbie learning curve hump. I took a quick look at
their website, tried to read some descriptive info, and it hung my IE6
browser. Apparently it was making a long download of some kind, which I
didn't request. I waited a minute or two. I had to kill the iexplore.exe
process with CAD to escape. I tried again a couple of times and the same
thing happened, so I tossed in the towel. Maybe someone who really needs it
would persist and figure it out. I was only looking quickly out of
curiosity.
