### 1/5 — Katastrophe

*2016-03-10, version 2.0*

Also so etwas ist Geschenkt noch eine Zumutung. Auch noch 99 ct dafür zu verlangen ist einfach nur dreist. 
Es ist doch eine Kleinigkeit das Prg. mit so einer Minimalen Funktion hinzustellen. Dafür gibt es einfach keine Entschuldigung.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

Erbitte umgehende Rückerstattung des Kaufpreises.
