Just one question, which may sound silly. If NasRev sux so bad, why are
you still playing this game? Hope it's only to make us laugh! (the post
was a good one in any case! ;)

I was up at the mall today and stopped by EBX.   I was just looking around
and 2 kids about 14 or 15 years old were browsing.  The one kid walked by

I just busted out laughing and the kid says:  "See,  he knows what Im
talking about"  <VBG>

I asked the clerk how many returns or phone calls they are getting on NasRev
and she said she has only taken 1 or 2 but she knows of a few others.   She
said it was selling "OK" but I wonder since they had about 8 - 10 copies on
the shelf.

I just shake my head everytime I go into a software store and see that
box prominently displayed at the end of the aisle with its $44.99
price sign, like it's some sort of great deal.
