I love it. I too have been keeping readers up to date with my trails as I moved from Comic Collector 2.0 to CB. I can't stress enough home much this program has helped me out over the past two months. I picked up Comic Base in San Diego at the Con this year after much debate and Q/A with the online community.

It may not make a big difference to most folks, but it makes a really big difference to them. You should write to whoever you buy comics from and let them know GG was mangled, and then write to <a href="http://www.studiofoglio.com/">Studio Foglio</a> and let them know as well.
