I order FO the first part of August each year with the 1-800 number and Mastercard. Then when it arrives I place it unopened on the desk by the computer and look at it as it lays there. It builds character to resist opening it and installing it. Every time you look at it laying there and resist the temptation to opening it you get stronger. You can feel your resolve grow stronger by the minute. You get that feeling of conquest over your weakness that makes life really worth living. Now you can overcome any challenge that life throws at you. And I'm going to do it again this year, As soon as version 10 arrives I will boldly carry it from the mail box to the desk and lay it there unopened beside my computer. Every time I look at it I will sneer as I become intoxiced with the feeling of superiority that rushes in on one who has acheived self mastery. Yes, this year I will wait even longer than any other year before opening the package. This year I will hold out for the full five minutes. Jim
