I have used this extension for a while and today I decide to write a good review for it. I bought this extension to install for my daughter site and we are 100% happy about its function. The developer is good to be paid for their work.
First off the customer service is top notch and far superior to any software company I have ever bought from. Also they respond immediately to any questions or concerns. For living in a completely different country I was blown away by their communications skills. I would highly recommend anyone who has not seen what these guys do please visit www.greeksoftware.net
Finally I want to thank each and everyone at Greek Software for their outstanding customer support. This calculator does far more than I expected. Great job!
