I mean, I had Multifinder before I had Disktop, and assumed that doing a Find wouldn't crash my system (a reasonable assumption). Now, I like CE Software and think they have great products (I *love* Disktop), but why do I have to pay an additional $7 just to get a product that works in the first place? Why couldn't they just post a patch (like Think does for LSC)? By the way, if the upgrade also included enhanced functionality I wouldn't really mind the extra bucks.

Hmmm... $3 for the disk, $4 for the shipping and handling? It may have some increased functionality, I dunno. I'll let you know when I get mine.
