Should Jack send minor bug fixes to everyone, including someone like me for
whom 1.01 is doing fine with NO problems? It would be a waste of his $1 to
send it to me... I'd rather he spend time getting 1.1 ready than copying,
packaging, and mailing disks for every minor update to every Registered
User. Besides, if you need it that bad, send him back your $.39 disk in
your $.19 mailer, and he will put the update on it and mail it back to
you. I think Jack is perfectly entitled to ALL of my $30 if he wants it,
otherwise I wouldn't have sent it to him in the first place!

Keep up the good work, Jack!
