Amuary,

I agree with you, I've gotten benefit out of SNF/MNF.  I joind Mandrake
Club, Renewed that description and bought a 3 version subscription to
MANDRAKE 9 just so I could support the company that had provided me with
such useful software.  Yes, I could have gone out and learned everything I
need to know and done it myself.  I don't have the time, so I will support a
company that helps me.
