(Also, no jazz, sex, fast cars, sneaky sub-plots, time travel, intrigue, cat-twisting suspense or tricky endings. It probably sucks to be dead.)

Windows 10 _______________________________________________________________________ Alchemy Mindworks applications earlier than version 6.0 don't run under Windows 10. Depending on the specific software in question and your operating system configuration, all sorts of really unfortunate things would happen in this environment. The current version 6.0 Alchemy Mindworks applications have been rewritten and thoroughly tested to get along with Windows 10. We'd like to take this opportunity to urge all the users of earlier versions of our software to consider upgrading to version 6.0. You'll enjoy: - Ongoing enhancements and new functionality. - Bug fixes and security upgrades. - No nasty surprises at such time as you install Windows 10. NOTE: While the half-price upgrade path from the now somewhat ancient version 4.0 software has officially ended, we have extended the 4.0 half-price window for the immediate future. If you update your 4.0 Alchemy Mindworks products, just ignore the message at our update e-commerce page about the updates only being available for version 5. Please see http://www.mindworkshop.com/upgrade.html to upgrade. _______________________________________________________________________ 4. 10 Estimable Tweets about Graphic Workshop Professional 6 (Second Notification) _______________________________________________________________________ If you're among the tens of thousands of Graphic Workshop users who don't follow us on Twitter - we're in no way offended by this - you'll likely have missed the ongoing tweets that deal with often-overlooked features of the known universe's most popular image management software.
