I found PictorView totally unusable. Once when I clicked on the
button to start the exposure, it _turned the computer off_. Not a
freeze, not the shutdown procedure, a full power-down!

Solved the problem by buying MaxIM DL/CCD.

And given that Meade chooses to not have any contact with customers
via the Internet I thought the "manual virus" joke was amusing, but it
would have come off better if warning had been spelled correctly!
