Money Talks?

[Ralph Cohen]

Hazen,

Please re-direct your comments to Wilson Rook.  He simply quoted a
message you wrote to me -- the reply you responded to is his.<g>  I
happen to agree with the concerns you stated in your letter.  I too was
tempted to purchase a Software Choice subscription, but there was
nothing IBM ever offered to subscribing members only that I was
interested in.
