Chris,

Well said. That was my guess or I would contacted you off-list to  
avoid putting you on the spot.  Being in business for myself, I'm  
very sensitive to paying for things that put food on someone else's  
table. Note to others: tip your breakfast waitress....   Granted it  
is hard to justify sending money to Microsoft, but they still have  
employees and setting an example for others is important when you're  
a parent.

Jim
