Yes, but my "faith" does not entail deceiving others to get them to help me. The cost for being cheap should only penalize me and my time, it shouldn't penalize others. > My purchase entitled me to tech support.

I'm just one person. How can that make an impact? I suppose you don't vote, either. Individual actions add up to group decisions, my friend. > Furthermore if american > business is operating on a profit margin so slim my call can negate any > gain then this country is in very deep doo-doo.

Again, the issue is not how you can spend your money. The issue is deceiving people so that you can pass your cost on to them. -Mick -- Sigs with a message suck! -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
