  That's very interesting Peter, perhaps the crime is selling such a common
Generic indicator-system for the BIG Bucks. To be of real value we would expect
above average or better than exceptional returns from the systems we buy....
that's why we 'buy'.  Personally I don't think anyone should have to pay BIG Bucks
for software that falls into the  'ShareWare' category. These should be bundled
and sold like the ShareWare or FreeWare products.
