Thanks for sharing the link Al,
It is now 14 hours ofter my first sale (not counting earlier beta
customer sales) and the overall return rate has fallen from 50% to
just above 20%.  So maybe there are just a handful of people treating
the return policy as a "try before you buy" service.

I am just hoping that I find a way to read reviews and access the paid
apps market from my ADP1 soon.
