No problem about you not upgrading your existing games, Jim. They're good games, and I'll bet nobody can beat the price of them, either. (grin) Thanks for all the great contributions to our enjoyment. As to my proposed scheme for pitching, see?? Told you it would be more complex, didn't I?? Who said it would be easy? heh heh heh.
