I'd say it has paid for itself in that alone. I wish they'd do a "Student version" somehow, but it is also a large learning curve and we've found that sometimes it will do something we need but the support people don't know that it does. We end up discovering it much later by accident. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
