WE UPGRADED TO version 9 of SoundForge (requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to be installed though ours conflicted with the installation of SoundForge 9 on first go) and the most amusing part of the process was getting invoiced for the marketing material inside the parcel (click on image to see what we mean) containing the manual (never read in eight previous editions of use) and DVD about the product. We paid three cents to receive the promotional literature. Now we know marketing delivers more than two cents' worth of value. We're also enjoying continued excise-tax-free FedEx service from the States.
