Evan,

Yeah.. I know.. Old Never-Tells-It-Like-He-Thinks... <g>

Like everyone else I do not like spending US$2,000 for just about anything <g> but in this case I can get just about every piece of software Microsoft has - working, production copies to boot - all for a very reasonable price.

Still, US$2,000 is still a good chuck of change...

Best,
