At least with Roland you get what you paid for.  I have a 400ukp piece of
Roland kit myself, which I cannot find fault with.  Unfortunately I can't
say the same for Netconnect 2, even though I paid the 50ukp for it.

Obviously this is not to be blamed on the software package itself, at least
NC 1.1 has been working okay for me after some modifications, but Active
themselves, who have been actively ignoring me for the past year, after
fobbing me off with the earlier version and a promise to deliver.

It seems that 'vapourware' distributor would fit Active quite literally.

The only reason I've been hesitant in taking them to court is because after
all, they are one of a rare breed - an Amiga supplier.  :(
