Well, to paraphrase our OLD friend Ronnie, "There I go again...".  After 
re-reading my above comment (the second one) I realized that I must have 
been typing while thinking about something/someone else.  I do _not_ think
that;

"White Knight is far better than RR and [IMHO] better than the new MicroPhone
and at only 1/2 (or is it 1/3) the price."

What I meant to say is that WK is far better than RR and [IMHO] the EQUAL to
MP II 3.0.  WK and MP II are both fine software packages.  WK is quite a bit
cheaper (still not sure if it is 1/2 or 1/3 the price), but MP II does take a 
more standard approach when it comes to product support.
