While I haven't encountered anything that drastic, I did find a dozen bugs
just in my first look at PCT7. I've been with PCTools since v5.1, and this
is by far the buggiest release. I haven't tried PC-Cache 7 yet, and I
don't think I'm going to....
Some of the things are really obvious, like the several black-on-black
entries in the default LCD color scheme, missing borders on windows in text
mode (I guess they only tested in the pseudo-graphics mode), and the
appointment calendar in the desktop not accepting color changes.

Try again. Considering that their upgrade flyer gives you a 60-day money-
back guarantee, they had better comply. If you want the refund, hold them
to their advertising.
