Hmmm, I paid with PayPal to have them ship me a CD over 2 weeks
ago. Still haven't received it. Am going to wait til the weekend if not
recieved by Sat. I will attempt to get into contact to find out what is
going on.
Am appreciating your comments so I know what to watch out for when
mine gets here.
