Ok i will try to be patient... Cant hurt To put my two cents in anyhow...
Yes i do like the Mega vers. and its features I downloaded it when i was
informed of the mac vers immediately, but,,, something about the interface
just does not sit well w/ me i much prefer the clean cut 2 window (3 w/
preview) interface of the official... not to mention some other features i
am just quite use to by now...

Thank you for the concern...
