Salutations,
Is AN THAT bad? I have a serial for AN so that is how it is free.
And before anyone starts pointing fingers, I register my software. I paid
for Newtscape and some other Newton software.
Hmm. I had no idea AN was that buggy. Are the bugs big data losing bugs
or what? I can put up with ignoring some functionality while saving $85.
Do you still use AN?
And are upgrades for MI still coming out?
I just installed AN so I guess using one or the other would be easy enough
to do.
AN4 looked (on the surface and playing around with it) like it does more
than MI.
Is there a lot more functionality with MI? Or are you recommending MI
mainly because it has less bugs than AN?
Thank you for you help and opinions,
David
