(A lone voice crying out in the wilderness...) I understand that this is
MPW's target market. Whether I agree with that doesn't really matter... I
just want to point out that THERE DO EXIST some people (such as me) who
are lowly college students, who run MPW 3.0 on a Mac Plus, who have no
intention of ever marketing a product or becoming "Partnerized."

For which I am very, very grateful. Thanks very much, guys! Keep up the good
work!
