Hi Guys
I am still using XG 1.21
Is it worth upgrading?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have to add that, having not played for quite a few years, when I tried to install XG on my new PC I had forgotten my activation code. I have moved house several times and changed emails since purchasing XG but Xavier was absolutely brilliant in tracking down my old details and getting me up and running again. Customer service at its best.

It's been quite a while since I upgraded from version 1 to version 2, but I recall that it seemed quite worth it at the time. Best I can do.

Cheers Bill. Btw, is it possible to add annotations? I have loaded the Grandell/Ballard match from 'Modern backgammon' would be nice if i could add your comments from the book.

Yes, you can add annotations. Open a match and click on a move. Down at the bottom of the box that evaluates different plays you'll see a small 'text bubble' in the lower right corner. Click on that and it will open up a box where you can type in a comment of any length.
