 <P><span style="font-weight:bold; ">WINDOWS VISTA  KNOWN ISSUES </span></P>
 <P style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</P>
 <P><span style="font-size:10pt; ">Under the direction of the USDA, the 2009 crop year DataScape software has not been certified to run under the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.  Limited testing has been done under Vista, and the following issues have been found.</span></P>
 <P style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</P>
 <P><span style="font-size:10pt; ">Microsoft has made many changes with the release of the new Windows Vista operating system, including the way software application installations are handled.  Software is now handled on a &quot;user specific&quot; basis, and certain data files are now placed within a </span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold; ">folder specific to the user who</span><span style="font-size:10pt; "> </span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold; ">entered the data</span><span style="font-size:10pt; "> in the software application. </span></P>
 <P style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</P>
 <P><span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold; ">ISSUE 1  DIFFERENT USER LOGINS = DIFFERENT SETS OF NURSERY OR APPRAISAL LISTS:</span><span style="font-size:10pt; ">  </span></P>
 <P><span style="font-size:10pt; ">One of the effects of the &quot;user-specific&quot; file storage is that inventory and worksheet data is now only available to the user who logged into Vista at the time of data entry.  Under previous versions of Windows (95 through XP) DataScape data files were available to all users of the computer.  </span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold; ">Under Vista, the</span><span style="font-size:10pt; "> </span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold; ">DataScape</span><span style="font-size:10pt; "> </span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold; ">application is available to all users, yet the</span><span style="font-size:10pt; "> </span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold; ">user entered data is not available.</span><span style="font-size:10pt; ">  If a user logs in with a different login name than the person who entered the inventory or appraisal worksheet, he/she will not have access to the data entered.  The inventory or worksheet data must be exported by the person who performed the data entry, which can then be imported by other users similar to using the data on different computers.</span></P>
 <P style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</P>
 <P><span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold; ">ISSUE 2 -- UNINSTALLING:</span><span style="font-size:10pt; ">  </span></P>
 <P><span style="font-size:10pt; ">Since the uninstall procedure removes all DataScape program files installed in the Program Files area, the user-specific data files are not removed.  The removal of these files would be necessary in the event of data corruption, where an uninstall/re-install would be used.  Please note  this issue only affects Vista Windows users, and all previous versions of Windows are unaffected.</span></P>
