Probably...difference being that the guy who was talking about doing 
a Windows TR was functioning from a profit standpoint...he's no 
contester as far as I know...he was just looking for a way to make a 
buck.  

Nothing wrong with making a buck, but that's not why Tree got into 
it, and that's why the program is as good as it is.

I need to start collecting old PC stuff I guess...the price is right!
