 That is true..... (OK, so I'm a little late. Too busy enjoying the 75+ degree
weather) :-)

The pricing difference in Reflection and Minisoft reflects (no pun intended) the
fact that WRQ writes the drivers for printing and screen displays whereas
Minisoft uses the standard Windows drivers.

I have been using Minisoft for 6 years now and have been more then pleased with
their product and support. Reflections is a great tool for the transfering of
files. (using the cool buttons for the dummy users!)
