If it is an actuall USEABLE app I surely would. But most of these apps are so non complete and feature lacking I wouldnt waste a dime on them. And I would expect it to run stable. Another thing most of these apps do is crash more often then I care for. If i shell out 50 or 60 bucks for a financial app, which I would, I expect it to be stable, and very feature rich. None of this "feature X is in the works". But I would buy a copy yes if it meets the above requirements. ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | FreeBSD Consultant, FreeBSD Geek Work: scanner@jurai.net | Open Systems Inc., Wellington, Kansas Home: scanner@deceptively.shady.org | http://open-systems.net ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
