I am a new relatively new Apple User (I just got a PB 160) and I wanted to
know what ATM 3.0 is for. I was reading about it in the ReadMe 7.1 File and
I went ahead and ordered it (the read me file said $7.50 for a $379
package). I figured that $7.50 isn't that much even if the utility isn't
that useful. 

Any enlightening words would be appreciated (prefer e-mail responses).

Thanks
