   In anybody's O, I should hope..  Instead of looking at paying large
sums of money for another client, you should be screaming bloody murder
at the Grafit people for releasing such a shoddy product.  Backing
store fills up, and regardless, you shouldn't be forced into having to
pay more for a system that supports it (especially once AT&T starts
their licensing :-)) simply because they're too lazy to write code for
redrawing.
