The FAQ does not come from RITLabs.

Ever heard of the difference between "number of downloads", "number of
copies in use", number of customers" and "number of paid copies
around"?

I don't know if RITLabs is wealthy already or not. There are a lot of
things to be factored into this equation - one of them being interes
rates, another being payback money.

Yes, it was asked for.

Maybe, although not me.
Are you sticking to 1.53 because it satisfies your needs or because
you are pissed by RITLabs' communication skills?

Which is the Inbox folder - if you use Known or filters to sort your
known associates' messages into other folders.

RIT does not maintain the FAQ, it is maintained from this list.

MJ> This begs the question:

No answer for you there, other than that is how it always has been.

Um, ~$30 US for each copy [over the years]...  I don't know the
exchange rate, but ...

The change list they sent out this AM is the same one that has been in
every 1.60 dl...

MJ> I'm sticking to 1.53... Do others feel the same way?

N, 1.60 has way too many cool features!
SmartBat being one.
And check this one out, I key 54*23=
then with my cursor on one of those chars I do a shift+ctrl+= and it
changes it to.54*23=1242
Now I don't need to grab MS's horrible calculator...
