It's just my opinion of course, but if the BP had Keynote, I would =
probably stop using it, or at least not use it anywhere near as much as =

Again, just my opinion.

I agree, but the Multilanguage isn't that great. What about putting =
Keynote=20
Gold on the BP. Much better than eloquence.

Right on Jeff!  Eloquence would be great, especially with its better =
