Some more sad facts about Harvey: Estimated to be over $20 billion in damage. The area of Texas that is flooded is equal to the size of Lake Michigan (one of the US great lakes). 450,000 people are affected. Not sure if "affected" means anything and everything between loss of power to evacuation and/or loss of homes but that is a lot of people. Harvey spun back into the ocean and has gained strength and will be coming back into the eastern part of Texas with some impacts to Louisiana (who suffered greatly at the hands of the Cat 5 hurricane Katrina some years ago). Houston is the 4th largest city in America and Texas is responsible for 1/10th of the US economy. Houston is a major oil producer for the US and oil refineries were shut down and/or damaged by Harvey. Beyond witnessing the heart-wrenching agony of the devastation caused by Harvey, the effects of this hurricane will be felt through-out the US. My only hope is that the loss of life remains very low but until this storm clears and the waters recede we may not know what the death toll really is as people were pretty much sheltered in place during the hurricane and then trapped as the water levels rose from the 36+ inches of rain. The only bright spot to this whole catastrophe is watching how the people of Houston are coming together to help and save lives. All the political and identity politics that have divided the US over the past year seem to have been quickly forgotten because only one thing matters: saving lives. Only one thing matters: providing shelter to the un-sheltered. Only one thing matters: given aid to the injured. Only one thing matters: feeding the un-fed. Only one thing matters: Giving hope to those who have lost everything. Only one thing matters: The person whom you disagree with today could be the neighbor pulling you to safety tomorrow. Keep the people of Houston in your thoughts and prayers...and learn from their sacrifice! Dave

I'll do it for 10,000

It goes into Crossgrade after your out the loop, but its still so expensive, and I think MAXON should not put their old customers in the same line as a crossgrade from other 3rd party apps, a bit more of a discount should be applied. PS: I call it Crossgrade but actualy they call it Sidegrade. Dan
