Hi Jon,
I've bought every Pro release since RB 1.0 even though I've never used their
database and just this month have been finally able to ship a Windows
release. I'm loyal to the cause.

If only they were more communicative so that we actually knew these were the
issues rather than speculating... I'd be right there with you.
