Don't feel bad John. I hear that someone once complained that Van Gogh used too 
many colors and Beethoven too many notes.

Actually, this sounds like a terrific deal! Most people probably pay up to $20
per megabyte for their hard disks (except those who buy their hard drives from
apple! :-) and many pay less. 20K is only about 20/1000 (or 1/50th) of THAT
value (somewhere less than $0.40). That's ALMOST like someone saying to me
"Buy my ABOUT BOX sharware for 40 cents and I'll throw in the most complete,
current, best supported, and best documented anti-viral freeware product as a
BONUS!".

I say ALMOST because in THIS case, you don't even have to send in the money!
Just by a drive to put it on :-) :-)

When it comes to the MacIntosh, it may be expensive at times but some of the
BEST things in life are FREE!

(Besides, I'm in LUV with fancy about boxes :-)
