On the other hand there are MANY, MANY, MANY duplicate tips in WinsTips
because some tech way back when decided to enter his fix under ALL
possible variations of the SAME model and chassis just to get credit of
10 or 15 times what he should have got. But the program is STILL the
best around, just plan to pay the fee and if you get a few free days
that will be icing on the cake!
