Thanks Greta you have been more than helpful. I am going to check it out and keep in touch with you :)

Hi Greta and thanks for your response. Like i said, i don't know much about the software but i am about to graduate and i really can't afford CaseCat or Eclipse. I do know Eclipse have some great features and i am hoping DigitalCat has it as well. Going to West Virginia will be a task for me because i live in NY that's why i hope its user friendly. I called a few minutes ago and spoke to a rep and he told me i can download the student version for free and use it as long as i want, which i think is GREAT. Another thing is I am not good with numbers so the number conversion will help me out a lot. I watched the demo and it looks pretty user friendly, but it only showed me the basics. If i have any question is it okay if i write you? Once again thanks a million

Someone agrees with me! It's a first! I still have such a vested interest in making the LS work even though Tina Givens bought mine as a backup.

I'm doing well on my Gemini Grand - cumbersome after the LS, though!

Greta, I am beyond thrilled for you! To pass the CRR on the LS is truly wonderful - such an inspiration!!!

Greta: I am a new member at this site and did a search to find out who else might use the LightSpeed. I am at about my wit's end with the machine. I wondered if you could provide any "hope" because it works, it doesn't work, it works and it is not at all reliable, at least for me. Wondering if it might need some kind of firmware update but the one (and only) time it was done, this is when my problems started with the writer and I hesitate doing it again. Mark K. helped with a software update this month in San Diego and it seemed to be working, but then when I went to a job to use it, even though stored in a hard protective case, it was firing off by itself again and writing garbage. Three hours later when I tried again, it worked fine. I think it has multiple personality machine disorder! Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Kathy

Ah, sorry you weren't feeling well! Yes, when you get a chance, let me know by posting on depoman - I'm assuming it will be back in business soon. Hope your trial goes smoothly - no fast talkers allowed!

Greta, I'm writing you here because depoman is still flaky today. I'm wondering if you've downloaded the LS update. There really is a problem with the combinations. As of today, per John Sims, the programmers are working on it. It seems there is a combination default in the download that can't be deleted at all, and it appears in every config you have once you update. The only remedy at the moment is to uncheck the combination option. I've wasted hours and hours on this update, and feel other LS users should hold off updating until they fix this issue. What do you think?
