Makes sense, I guess... but it sure could be better named. :)

Well I'll heat it up some. I disagree with you. We all have money for what we 
want. We set our own priorities. How many people have you seen on the 
roadside begging for food and smoking a cigarette. MANY people will tell you 
they don't have enough food to eat, but somehow manage money for cigarettes!! 
I don't have any idea your financial situation, and you may indeed not be 
able to afford it now, but to say you need eternal "free" updates is not 
reasonable. to say you can't afford $20.00 in six months or forever says you 
don't think it is worth it. To me anyhow.

Best of luck to you. I think the reason it has been kind of quiet in here is 
that they don't really have a mns/snf list and they don't seem real proud of 
it. Making it VERy difficult to get support or info for it. Seems strange.
