YAY, I'm getting this without charge since it wasn't a year yet. And I can try it out before school starts and suck up all my time!

I upgraded my KoolMoves to Version 5.02 and I paid $16.95, I am suppose to pay or it was free for those who bought older version recently.

This is my KM made website www.juvard.net I need comments.

[Bob Hartzell]

If there was a question about upgrading, it would have been appropriate to ask before you bought an upgrade.

[Ultra Pulse]

Did you send it to evrybody yet.

[Bob Hartzell]

Yes, but there is a large section of people with yahoo, etc. addresses who are difficult to mail to.

[Ultra Pulse]

I still have a 0 in my new (yahoo)mail section, and I also turned off what was it...SPAMguard off( nothing in the -spam- folder). can you resend that email to MY e-mail.

[email protected]
