Gene, it is unique, in both good and bad ways.
A couple of months ago, I visited the website that is home for this brand of web browser. It did not appear that upgrading was particularly expensive. I don't upgrade every time a new version of something pops out. But I don't sit in the dark ages in perpetuity either. And I definitely would not be happy to have my customers continually grousing about the same old problems. Particularly hosting photographs. But it's Dave's baby, and he can run it any way he wants.
We will all do what we all do.
