Like I said in an earlier message, it isn't worth THAT much. If you consider unreasonably high shareware fees "not liking Joan's attitude", so be it. I consider her attitude as only partly why I wouldn't buy it. It's the unreasonably high shareware fee that she asks which is not convincing me not to buy it. I guess the reason yo find it a convenient reason is because it's so easily obtained. It's distributed on the "try-before-you-buy" basis that is shareware. Also, just wondering, did you yourself pay the $150 she asks for it? Or did you find out about how much she wants and then decide not to use it?
