I've only bought 2 packages so far, TDI Modula 2 and deluxe paint. TDI has been timely, responsive, and cheap with thier updates (the last update was 2 brand new disks, for $6.00. The next update (for 1.2) they promise a new manual.) When I ordered my copy, I sent them an extra $5.00 bucks to rush it UPS blue, but forgot to tell them what machine I owe... they called my long distance from Texas to find out so it wouldn't be delayed. I can't say enough good things about these people. They are REAL curteous and professional. On Dpaint, I understand (this is still a runmor, but a well supported one) EA is going to offer Dpaint2 for $30 and the cover from your Dpaint manual. Since Dpaint2 is list $130, this seems like a very reasonable upgrade policy.
