seek and ye shall find!
myself and others were having trouble downloading the updates for 1.06. it kept giving us error messages after 5% of the process. we all thought it was just a glitch with the web server and that it would be taken care of in a few days. when it wasn't i decided that i would contact the company about this and upon further mining i found this forum. it has cleared up all the questions i pretty much had. i do have one...couldn't the software had given us a prompt or something concerning the expiration?
thanks everyone!
