agreed.

AMusing side note:   I did indeed send to ford for a copy of their free
package a few years ago.  Neat, but rather boring, and CGA graphics.  Oh well.
(why not send a pre-stamped postcard for stuff like that?  that's how I get
all my spare floppy disks.. :-)

A few months ago, ford sent me a letter announcing their 'new' form demo
diskette, but this time they wanted $4.95 for the bugger.  I wrote them a
nasty note that stated I would be more than willing to view a FREE diskette,
but that I'm not going to PAY to see a computer demo, when a FREE *real*
demo at the dealer would do just as good.  Never heard back from them.. :-)

"Now that I'm the 'primary caregiver' for our little child, I have been
 able to more greatly appreciate the amount of stamina needed by those
 who have chosen childraising as their full-time job.  I can also state
 that if I were to do this for an extended period of time, that you would
 be very likely to find me naked in a tall tower with a high-powered rifle.."
