	About 6 weeks ago I received an announcement that the all
new, fantastic version 4.0 of Dollars and Sense was now available--and
for registered users a mere $50 too!!
	The brochure promised a 2-3 week delivery if you called the 800
number ( 800-443-0100). Well I did...and they billed my credit card...
but it didn't arrive :-((. I called today and they said they "found bugs"--
in the code. Gee whiz, can you imagine that? I wonder if they've heard
of the time honored programmers method called "debugging" :-)( ? 
	Well the word from them is that the shipping date is still 2-3 
weeks away if you are naive enough to buy that!
	This vaporware business is spreading almost as fast as viruses!

	Beware.
