all,
AND . . . if you were a Frame-10 user on January 1, 2013 . . . you know
EXPIRED SUBSCRIPTION embeded code . . . really does function.
ooops
So . . . if one does cease to "auto"-pay . . . shall you become promptly
de-ceased?
?Has anyone "on subscription" tried changing/advancing their system clock
2-3 months to see if anything odd occurs?
please advise
cha-CHANG$$$
