Monday March 13, 2006

It's the first day of Spring Break.  We will be heading down to the coast - Padre Island - on Wednesday morning and will be back here in San Antonio on Saturday.  We'll take the cell phone and laptop so we can be in touch.

It was a warm, dry winter here, as it was in most of the Southwest.  We have not has significant rain (1/2 inch or more) since October 2005!  But, with watering, the trees have survived, and our peach blossoms are visible.  I’m afraid our banana trees are history.

Update Version 7.2

The next update will be Version 7.2 scheduled for release on June 5.  There are over 30 new features.  If you'd like to look at a list of many of the new features, go to the BETA page on our web site.

Because of some extraordinary expenses incurred developing this version, we’ll need to charge for this update.

If you are currently running any Version 5, you will be able to download Version 7.2 from the web site for $18.00, or, we can mail it to you on a CD for $21.75.

If you are currently running any Version 6, you will be able to download Version 7.2 from the web site for $15.00, or we can mail it to you on a CD for $18.75.

If you are currently running any Version 7.0, you will be able to download Version 7.2 from the web site for $7.50, or we can mail it to you on a CD for $10.75.

The BETA for this version has been available since October, and is being tested by a number of studios.  If you wish to have a copy and test it for us, we would welcome that.  The more input we get, the better.  Please call for a BETA Installation Password.  All BETA testers will receive the 7.20 free when it is released in June.

New Manual Pages

We have no more manual pages left for Version 7.1.  We have rewritten the manual for Version 7.2, and it is at the print shop now.  It will be delivered on Monday the 20th.  For those of you who have ordered it, we will mail it on March 21st.  I’m sorry for the delay.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Credit Card Payments

We have concluded an agreement with Smart Payment Solutions to be our EFT and Credit Card processor.  Please print out the latest Appendix N and Pages 5-23 to 5-25 from the How To Update page of the web site.  Also, check out:  www.CompuDance.com/EFT_1.htm

We’ll be back with more details and information in May.  Stay tuned . . . .  Take care . . . .
