Careful.  Well over a year ago, after learning I'd get updated versions, I sent
in my $25 shareware fee.  What'd I get?  Nada.

After noticing the 2.0 blurb in Macworld I called the company (can't
remember their name) that bought it from Randy.  There is no upgrade deal for
those who registered.  Boo hiss.  Seems my registering v1.0 got me nothing
but a warm and fuzzy feeling. |-(

 There's one big difference between genius and stupidity.  Genius has limits.
