    Be nice if it [Spot] worked. My demo version is locked into a loop and I have to wait until the [minutes-long only] demo version expires before regaining control. All it does until that point is congratulate me for having the latest version of Spot then tells me I’m connected to [satellite name?] and then goes back to congratulating me before again saying I’m connected and so on. None of the controls work while this is going on, so I can’t back out or cancel this nonsense. Skylab’s site doesn’t list a phone number so I can’t actually talk to someone about it. Most unhelpful.

    P.S. Your site also has problems. For example one can’t use anti-spam techniques (such as replacing the “@”) in the electronic mail address field. Bad move, that.
