I'm glad the most of us and LSoft think so. I just wish MS thought so. MS
have that attitude that people would rather get the software cheaper and pay
$150.00 per phone call to solve the bugs in their own software. I'm glad
that LSoft don't take this approach and I think that their price is very
reasonable. We use the NT version.
