It took a while to begin to understand how this works. I would definitely like to attend a webinar to learn more about it.
After I fill in all these forms I send you, how do I save them to my computer?
Thanks,

Great online chat support!
Support when I've needed it has been great which I can rarely say about most companies these days. While the program tends to be a little cumbersome it works for what I need it to. When I have issues the online chat support has been great an very little wait to get to someone. John resolved my issue over the weekend and Kara fixed the one I had this morning - I really appreciate both their help!
