How dare you confront them with the truth & facts to back it up? They'll burn you at the stake like a witch for that. (I'll skip the obigatory Holy Grail reference here)

I'm just keeping the old version for now. Can't begrudge the guy for wanting to make money off his labor but HRD has become so shitty, slow and buggy anyway that I'm actually looking for alternatives and seriously considering rolling my own. $100 is too much. Maybe $40 would be better, but it's his product and he can price it however he wants. I am free not to buy.
My log is about 30k contacts and it began to slow to a complete crawl. Part of the problem was the MS Access backend database. So I switched it all over to MySQL and it has been running much better now.
Try DXLab Suite for Windows. Not as pretty as HRD but does everything better and rock solid. It's free and if you pay close attention to the instructions not nearly as hard to install as it seems. http://www.dxlabsuite.com/
