Greetings, I agree with Mr. David Hofmann. It would be nice to have the IMAGINE able to handle both NTSC and PAL in the same version. I know curretnly there are two version of softwre one for PAL machine and one for NTSC. Is this Two version system set up to combat Pirates ? If it is the case to combat pirates then I can tell you that it's not as effective as it was set up for. I understand that the NTSC market is very big but then there is also a very big market for NON-NTSC system. Two big markets together mean very big market in the end :-). Please kindly consider up coming software that can handle both PAL and NTSC and the rest of the World T.V. system. Best Regards, Sze C Greetings, I agree with Mr. David Hofmann.

Sze C. Your assumption is incorrect, we do the PAL version becuase the distributors want it that way. We realize that those who steal, will steal no matter what we do. We like you would like it to be one version as well. There is talk about doing this very thing with 3.0, its not difficult but we have to please the people who sell the product as well as you the user. Mike
