Thanks for the link!
I have also been looking at REX and it seems damned fine as an overall enhancer. Is that available in NZ? Or does everyone just buy the download version from where ever they find it cheapest on a overseas site?

REX is good - though Active Sky is pretty good too.

Nearly all the software I've bought lately has been downloaded. I'm an old fashioned printed manual type of person, but it just doesn't happen these days, with everything on PDF which you print out at *your* expense. It does make sense, though.

My last one just the other day was Lock-On Flaming Cliffs 2 at a staggering 2.5Gb. My internet connection is pretty cr*p so it took nearly two days. Be warned though - make sure you have an internet download manager of some sort though (providing the source supports auto-resume). For some reason, my connection often gets reset around 3am-4am and I've lost a few downloads this way. A bit painful when you're on a data cap as well. NZ really is getting 3rd world in this respect.
