Very sound advice.

Well my dealer lets me return software if it doesn't work like I expect
it to. He also lets me sit down at a machine in his store and use the
program for several hours if I want to see how it works before I buy 
it. The key message here is that I support my local dealer by 
actually buying software there even though I could save money by 
ordering it through the mail.
