Hello, Clarence.  I respectfully disagree with you up to a point.  Once a 
final release is implemented, we still are not allowed phone support.  There 
were a couple of times that I really needed phone support and found myself 
in a jam when I couldn't have it.  Yes, beta testing involves risk.  Why is 
it that once a final release is implemented that we do not have phone 
support?
