That comes across loud and clear, huh? Can you imagine the impression
the thousands of people at Macworld NY would have had last week, if I'd 
bought Rev. instead of using trial Metacard for the past 30 days? "Why 
is that man yelling at those folks over at the Runtime booth?"

I'm not cool about throwing money away when I don't have money to throw 
away. Expensive frustrating work enviroments,  also does not make me 
"Mr. Pleasant". This RSI in my elbow and shoulder  is only aggrivated 
by not getting work done efficiently and moving on.

Nope, neither one of those message box formats and neither one of those 
keys work.
I can select the different formats, but return or enter do nothing.

But you are not using the version I'm using and my serial number will 
not work
on older versions.

There is a direct link to the download, they send it to you in email 
after purchase.
Maybe new users are the guinea pigs and maybe you really don't want 
this version.

This is a preference setting, and "correct" behavior is turned off by 
default.
Normally I don't mess with preferences. In this case, I went digging.

Not for me.

There are 4 setups, a number of versions, and different platforms 
availabe Which one do you have? the Free trial had all platforms 
available for build, the one I paid for doesn't

Don't they respond to this list?
My understanding of my licensed tech support is:  "Up-and-running" 
technical support is provided to help get the product installed and 
working properly on your system.  That to me sounds like "Drag the 
application to your hard drive, double click, is it running? Ok,  great 
have a nice day." I didn't expect to find several flaws in a single 
sitting.

Nope I paid, downloaded 2.0.2, tossed the old trial into the trash, 
emptied trash, then installed new version, and registered it 
immediately. Did one or two simple things, seemed to work, put off my 
heavy duty stuff until today, then spent today saying "huh? Why doesn't 
this work? why doesn't that work? What the !!!!"

Until now I was  using trial Metacard because Revolution seemed , 
"flawed".

I apologize to all listee's for being the raging Bill...I  honestly 
would rather share cool things, and when this app works right, I will.
