 <P><span style="font-weight:bold; ">WINDOWS VISTA  QUESTIONS &amp; KNOWN ISSUES </span></P>
 <P style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</P>
 <P><span style="font-size:10pt; ">DataScape software for the 2010 crop year and later can be safely and successfully installed on computers running Microsoft Windows Vista.  If you install pre-2010 crop year DataScape software on a computer using the Windows Vista operating system, you do so at your own risk.</span></P>
 <P style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">&nbsp;</P>
 <P><span style="font-size:10pt; ">DataScape, LLC did perform tests with the 2008 and 2009 crop year Nursery Crop Insurance software on Windows Vista.  The following issues were found AND ONLY APPLY TO VERSIONS OF DATASCAPE SOFTWARE PRIOR TO THE 2010 CROP YEAR.</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 Vistas &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 normally be used.  Please note  this issue only affects users of </span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold; ">2009 crop year and earlier</span><span style="font-size:10pt; "> DataScape software installed </span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold; ">on Windows Vista</span><span style="font-size:10pt; ">.</span></P>
