Maltin's Movie & Video Guide 2004

Hi,
Maltin's Movie & Video Guide 2004 is not really an update, at least it looks the same as I purchased last december. The version history lists only one version in the Landware site. Did I miss anything?

Yes both are not updates. I downloaded the two apps from Landware after I saw this news but when I compared it the files I downloaded in December its the same. This is old news.

Generic Casio > Psion 5/StarTac > Vx > m505 > Sony N770C > Sony T625C/Ericsson T39m > Sony NR70V > Toshiba e310 > Tungsten T/Ericsson T68m > HP h2210 > Tungsten T3/Ericsson T610

Movie Guide is Buggy

I tried it out for serveral days and it crashes when you do specific things in the program involving changing the date for returning a movie to the video store and changing its status. When I contacted Landware, they replied that they knew about it and that they contacted the developer with that and some other bugs. I assume this new release is to fix the bugs that occurred with very common tasks. I was SO close to buying it, but unless they repair the crashes, Its un-useable. I hope they have; its a really good program.

Look, man! I ain't fallin' for no banana in my TAILPIPE!
