Kate, I agree that the SMA renewal policy stinks, but I just want to point out that this was the same policy of Henter-Joyce before they merged with Freedom Scientific. I wouldn't have as big an issue with this policy were it not for the fact that several upgrade versions of JFW rendered my computer unusable, since they were incompatible with the Sticky Keys utility.

It just seems like after the merger between HJ, Blazie, etc, things have vastly changed and it's all about the almighty dollar now and not about making our lives more independent...
