Re: What is main difference between version 6.27 & version 7

This raises an in interesting question for your U3A members. The general principle of always upgrading to the latest version is good, but cost is obviously a factor. There's no doubt that for new users, and for current users who may not have done much research but who are planning to do a lot more, ...

Version 3 - nbsp;Questions

It worked o.k. for me.
