Hi Nick,

Thanks very much for the response and apologies for the delay in my
response. We were out yesterday. Trying to escape the heatwave hitting
us over here :-)

Please allow me to respond to Kurt's response to your email.

Yes! Thank you very much. It looks very good :-)

Thanks, Kurt.

We're very keen on making things as easy as possible for the gprofng users.
Providing the right information is a big part of that.

I also plan to produce some intro and how to video's (if my equipment does
not melt this week ;-). This would be a good place to include links to those
as well.

I totally agree! We really appreciate your support, Nick!

Kind regards, Ruud
