Gary, The suspense and worry over the uncertainty of such a monumental financial situation was most agonizing, I'm sure. Glad you were able to bear up under the strain. For that price I would think you'd save enough to buy the upgrade if you are going to be a serious user. If just dabbling then you did good to get in so cheap. I don't do good on eBay. I always have fanatical idiots bidding up what I want till it sells for more than you could get it at the store.
