[NTLK] New user question about CF cards

I have to express my disagreement with you. Even if Paul did promise an
update, when I buy software, I buy it for what it can do today. If they've
promised a feature in the future, I will wait until that feature is
available, and then buy the software.

(And I do NOT want to
