I had a problem with the "Upgrade-or-Trash" principle of old MileTracker
When in the last update the ugly unsizeable screen on top appeared with promotional garbage, I deinstalled the Tracker, rein stalled the old version and constantly refused to upfdate, but eventually it would not work. So now I have a downloaded DeskPort which I haven't tried installing yet -- and won't, after the criticism it received here, and the MileTracker which only functions in that ugly version with the top screen, which I will uninstall.
However, I find the OBLIGATION to upgrade or have the programme stop functioning quite irritable. Buy-or-trash with test programmes is a fairer principle.
Even Microsoft does not force you to upgrade. It does many upgrades authomatically, but you CAN disable that and still have a functioning -- if outdated -- programme.
Anyway... I guess it'll be points.com for some time then. Do they keep the info ON-LINE, though?
The advantage with Mile Tracker was that it (purported to have) saved the data on the users computer.
