I, for one, have had no problems with PayPal... I've paid for
several eBay auctions from it and subscribed to a couple of internet
related services through it with no problems. In fact, I'm trying
to get my ex-wife to sign up so I can send her her money via
PayPal rather than making the monthly trip to her bank. =P
I really hope this doesn't discourage David or anyone else from
developing such fantastic products and keeping our platform,
at least in my mind, competitive after all these years. Thanks
David. (Humphreys and Watson!)

re: Poll - Oh, payment methood is not a problem with me. It
$60.00+ pricetag is keeping me from grabbing two of them right
now. Please, PLEASE understand I'm sure the price is fair and
worth every penny, but I gots to save my money to get them.
(Which I will...)
