When I was talking about this, my point was that so many of the la-dee-da-GREAT clone software that make people want to rave is so expensive that I _know_ there's no way that so many people _could_ buy them all! Gimme a break! If I had a PC I would probably be pissed at the price gouging enough to pirate too! $500 or more just to own 3 or 4 nice programs? I don't think so. -Matt
