Hi "Jimastro",

> I hear guild has good tech support. I was woundering if this is true?

Yes, that is true. I am very satisfied with Guide :-)

> I was also woundering what the price is and what the updates cost?

Go to http://www.projectpluto.com If I remember well, Guide costs $80 and
the upgrades are $25. Moreover, updates are regularly available for free
(with new capabilities, corrections, ans so on).

In my opinion, Guide is the most "technical" software in its category. I
believe you will really appreciate it.
