Believe me, i'm going to be asking every single question that i need
to ask before i do anything. I want to make sure that what I'm buying
will last me for a very long time.  I hate jaws with an intense
passion. lol Half the time, i want to throw it out the damn window.
I'm also sick and tired of spending hundreds of dollars on a software,
that will continue to give me problems.  Once I've played with it, i
will let you all know what i think.
