I just bought this thing, and I haven't even used it, but I am already regretting the purchase. Before I even installed the software provided, I was led to a 28 meg download that's going to take 30 minutes even with broadband. The procedure should be to install with what is provided and then to download a patch. I am still waiting. Not a good approach to entrap users into a full download first. And, with something that big, it is never a good idea to run from the remote server. That takes longer, and it is unrecoverable if there's a glitch.
