Just wanted to update you on the status of the little problem I had.
I have been in contact with the good folks at Stardock, and they have made things right. I went ahead and upgraded my WB3 to ODN. It's the best $35 I have ever spent. I now get to use all the other little stardock progs that I tried out and liked.
If anyone else is on the fence about spending the money, do ahead and do it. You won't hate yourself in the morning for it.

Glad you got it all worked out!
I think that OD is definitely worth the $$$$, but I may be a bit biased

For me, ODNet and all that is part of it, is on the same level as when ACAD was first released. AutoDESK sarted it all on the PC for CAD, which everyone at the time said only super computers and UNIX boxes could do.
Windows is rather boxed and shirnk wrapped with its GUI and Themes are so clunky who would turn them on a second time?
ODNet proves Windows can be more than it can be

I like your CAD analagy.
I'm a CAD/GIS Administrator and I spend 80% of my day with AcadMap 2000i. I've been a CAD user for over 12 years. I remember the beginings of AutoCAD. It has definately grown in to much more then a 2d drafting package. All of the individual pieces, plugins, make it a complete package for design of everything from a single cog to an entire city.

You'd tell it to print to the HP laser and whie it was plotting you could go get a cup of coffee, smoke a cig and talk whild doing it and then walk back to class and if it hadn't just finished printing you would hear the laser kick into gear to print finally

When I first started with CAD, we couldn't even print from our own machine.
We had to plot to a file, (on a 5x1/4) then go to a different machine and spool the file to the plotter.

ah yeah, 7475 ? or is it 7540 ? HP Plotter, and that cute little multi-color-pen flat bed
That was what we were waiting for when printing to the Lazer, plotting the print job.

This was a pen plotter. Sheet feed. Did up to an E size sheet.
I don't recall the model number, but if I saw one today in use I would laugh my ass off
