Hi Greg; Time factor understood; no problem a'tall -- it's not like they'll be going anywhere. <G> We'll try to keep 'em out of your hair for awhile on the...

Thank you for your response. Well, I guess I'm not looking for pretty, but here's what I'd like to do. Sit at my telescope with my computer and when I'm...
Hi David, ... We offer at-cost upgrades (typically around $10) for anyone who purchased SkyTools 2 within the six months previous to the release of SkyTools 3....

Hi David, ... PC-Sky is more than a bit of an antique... it hasn't been updated since 1992. It doesn't hold a candle to those other programs; Apples and ...
I agree. I've been using skytools since 1999 and there isn't a better program around for planning, no matter what version, 1 or 2 and soon to be 3. I've...
