[TechAssist] Re: Is WinStips worth the price?

Oh, Gawd. Another one of those registered to the computer types like the 
Philips tips and parts finder programs?

I got so sick of calling for a new registration key from them, I finally 
quit using the programs.
No problem getting the key from her. She always called back promptly if I 
had to leave a message, but what a pain to be able to use something that I 
paid for.
