For example, if you purchased version 1.1.03 of a certain program 4 years ago, and need to redownload that now. Can we really expect them to still offer that download, even though there might have been 20 updates to the software? Something to keep in mind, I think... (I don't have a credit card, so I can't purchase through Handango anyway. Mobihand is the way to go!)

Personally, if I can't find something at the JAMM store then I am going to go straight to the vendor and buy it there. If I am spending money on a program it is because I like what the developer built, not the way Handango posted it on their web site. Of course, many of their stores are powered by Handango, which is frustrating. :) Doug Nicely done, Brandon.
