I sent my registration with a money order from Canada, and it took two
weeks to get the key.  Depending on your bank plan, you can get money orders
for no extra charge....just need a trip to the bank to get it.  If it weren't
for my plan, I'd have to pay $3.50 per MO.

Now, I'm just waiting for my AmIRC registration to be processed (also mailed
at the same time).  I wonder what I'll be registering next....of course
having a new toy coming, cuts into my budget for registering shareware.
(since I'll probably be registering shareware for it....)
