For 'fried' read 'excited'.
Thanks, Sandy.

I just looked it up: 2009, so your 15 years is spot on!

Ah, the old days of upgrades for £9.99 — plus the dreaded shipping and handling charges! And if you also purchased the Resource CD for an additional £9.99, you got a free copy of the printed User Guide. No, I can’t see Affinity going that way, either, but the launch offer (40% off) for the Universal Licence for the version 2 apps was a pretty good deal.

Sadly, that all began to crumble away when the old forums were replaced by CommunityPlus, especially so when they decided to remove the navigation bar’s link to the Discussion section.
