gdr, we'll have to disagree. 1. i'm under the impression they paid over $100 million. am i wrong? maybe as i'm just speculating. 2. distribution? i'll bet there are 10k programmers who could do the same thing - and some have. 3. i'm not sure what $0 revenue distribution is worth but, imho, it ain't much. if they start charging - assuming they avoid getting shut down! - then one or more of those other programs will have all the "customers." should berts keep buying them for free distribution? ok, ok. they are either very dumb or very smart. i'll tell you which as soon as i know for sure. i'm leaning toward the former, though. ;-)
