I hope that you learn from this and please, please do not say anything in messages unless you have something to add that is instructive without being negative. I think Dov Isaacs and Karl_Heinz_Kramer gave very good info and were also very kind and understanding. There are many reasons why people haven't updated their LifeCycle program.
