Laugh it up, fuzz ball. : ) Meanwhile, it amuses some of us that people will gleefully support a scheme that results in them not being able to use a piece of software if they don't continually fork over cash for it. Some of us value longevity and have computers that are decades old that are (prepare yourself for this shock) still able to run all of the software on them today without paying a single red cent, because that software did not demand a subscription. In fact many of the companies that created said software are no longer around today, or have moved on to newer versions, yet the software still runs just fine because it does not require connection to the internet or subscription servers that no longer exist. There is high value in that for some people. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
