If you want the upgrades, you have to call them and find out if there is an upgrade. Then you have to call them and ask for you to be placed on a "priority update list" (needless to say, this means squat). Then you get to call them three or four more time to beg for the release when they don't send it. Finally you get your disks anywhere from six months to a year after the upgrade is announced, and three to four months after it appears in stores. This has happened twice when I tried to get two separate upgrades. I would not deal with Manx. I would not give them a cent of your money. They are very disorganized, and it appears that once they have your money they want to forget about you.
