Problem is that I gain more every day than I've paid both mdk and this list. $60 is not insignificant but a very small price, indeed. The two Windows progs I still have to use require upgrades at the tune of at least $150 each per year. That won't get any better. I remember when maintaining the os and the progs was a 700.00 year easily (as a household user). We all accepted that as the "way things are". In retrospect, $60.00 is insignificant. With that, I have to add that the commercial progs are usually available elsewhere. If you expect to be buying programs with Club membership, you're barking up the right tree for the wrong reason. $0.02 Lee
