Yes, I am! It's wonderful, top of the line magnification software made
by one of the best software companies I've ever had contact with.

What sluggish behavior? Reported by whom? If you're having speed issues
with ZoomText 8 I suggest you e-mail Ai Squared and they can try to
resolve the issue.

Well okay... that's their perogative to do so if they want. Making such
a broad sweeping generalization like that isn't something I would do,
though. 

>I contacted AiSquared many times in the past. But the only thing I hear

Well, they probably couldn't reproduce the problem. So?

There are countless different PC configurations out there and they can't
test every single combination of video card, processor, modem, etc
before shipping the product. They can try to work with you to resolve
the problem, though. Sometimes there is no solution to a problem at the
moment. Such is life. 

>Now I'm using Supernova from Dolphin and I never crash.

Good! Likewise, I'm sure there are some people who have had Supernova
crash and decided to switch to ZoomText. It's all about finding what
magnification software suits your needs.
