Can’t argue with you, Daly; there are some issues that disappoint me, too.

You’re absolutely right about the program’s weaknesses in saving web pages, as far as I’m concerned. I’m never sure whether images clipped from a web page will show up in the MyInfo document, or if I’ll find big red X’s in their place.

Additionally, though version 4 runs a good deal faster than previous versions of MyInfo, by comparison to other programs, it takes a long time both to load and save files.

Finally, I posted a bug report on their forum about MyInfo’s annoying habit of stealing focus when you’re working in other windows, and got no reply at all.

Overall, I’m still happy with the program, and give Milenix mostly good marks for responsiveness, but there’s still room for improvement in both respects.
