I agree. And shouldn't there be a way to get rid of the ads if you subscribe to the Club? I mean, that is one of the primary money making avenues that Mandrake has, and I would say that most of the Club members use the download edition, although that's just a guess. If you are paying for the club, then shouldn't you have the choice to not have the ads? Scott
