All good points, Adrian.  I stand advised.  In fact, I think I'll just do as 
you suggest.  With all deliberate haste, of course.  God, that phrase still 
makes me laugh out loud.  but then, I wasn't a "stakeholder" in Brown v. 
Board, at the time, so it's easy for me to laugh.  Sorr for the 
digression...

Hi, Yardbird.

Two thoughts.

First, although you want the discs to install the voices, I strongly
recommend that you download the main program from the FS website because it
has already been updated to solve some of the problems users reported early
on.  My disc isn't the latest version, and I doubt they're shipping it out
now.  Who knows, maybe I underestimate FS.

Second, FS has been mailing the discs in a fold-out container held together
only by scotch tape.  A couple of listers reported that theirs arrived with
the tape torn.  I'd thought about that when mine showed up.  I've wondered
if this flimsy shipment method has caused some packages to be damaged and
made the Post Office reluctant to deliver them in that condition.  Pure
speculation.

Adrian
