Lets, see, for a business, that $10 would be worth about 5 min of some
emplyee's time. Do you think they could a) find th e right place on the
net, b) download the stuff, c) learn how to use it and d) finally decrypt
their files, all in 10 min? I don't. this is a dirt cheap service.
Of course if they had 1000 files to do it on, it might well be worth
their while to get an employee to do it.
