[nabs-l] Homework manager

Fri Dec 24 19:47:27 UTC 2010

Hello,
It seems to work on my windows seven 64bit machine just fine.  One thing, in 
your message you said it was a 30day trial and costs 40 dollars.  On the 
website it says it is a 15day trial and costs 29.95.  Are there two 
different versions?  The one I downloaded was 2.0.
Thanks,
Greg W.
