Note to self: The signal-to-noise ratio leaves a lot to be desired here. Possible generation gap detected.

Long live the days of the BBS's and modems! The connecting scream was better than a cup of coffee.

I had no idea it was paid software prior to shareware with an opt to upgrade? Though, if my memory serves me correct, there was a delay with WinPlan (v3.5) shareware coming out; paid version came long before, probably as most were content with the DOS version.

We're playing the classic v3 ('final' version of v2) rather than the newer v4 version, which you are probably referring to. I agree with you on the impact of the changes.
