Re: Compass Software

["Robertm" <Respond@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would be inclined to assume that a pro would know what his warranty and
replacement policy was on his software. Unless you are very new to
computing, the internet, and newsgroups, you know that many DIY post on pro
NG's because they get some very good advice. I'm a DIY who has watched the
NG for some time and will now get my monitoring service from one of the pros
who has posted here. I'm comfortable that he knows what he is doing. If I
wanted to buy an amateur monitoring service, I'd have posted there.
