Mike,
Your not getting the shaft as bad as you think.  We have been using
Forms 4.5 for windows since January. It is extremely
buggie and GPX are commonplace.  I will NEVER recommend this product.
I will use it at the client's expense but not my own.
Hopefully, by the time you get the product,
if you still want it, it will have a lot of the bugs worked out.
Therefore, the shaft will be there with one less nodule to hurt you.
