Yeah, I like that feeling too. The problem is M$ don't care, because by then they already have your money. Supposedly you can insist on a refund if you immediately remove everything, write a letter declaring this, and send it and the cds back. I haven't tried, and I've heard it requires much persistence and the occasional legal threat to achieve it. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
