I just got a Picasso II, so I got the same package.  I know QuickTime was 
added, and there is better AVI support (from this News Group).  But I 
wanted to ask you if we have the Shareware version (Main Actor was never 
PD)... we do at least have registered versions, right?  I haven't gotten 
a chance to actually try it out now that I have it, as I upgraded both 
to that gfx board and a Zip drive this weekend... and troubleshooting a 
Zip Drive due to problems with Squirrel ZipTools (which is incompatible 
with OS 3.1).

I was hoping that we'd be able to get some sorta break on upgrading to 
the professional or BROADCAST version.  Anyone know?  As far as I can 
tell, Broadcast is indespensable for what it does over the other two 
versions.  But that's from reading this News Group and other Echos.
