RE: How does this software work??

Hi,

i do not think ibm meant anything but maximizing the
profit on it's loyal customer base (milk cow) when
introducing cfint . i call cfint "loaylity tax"

The cfint was a marketing issue and in my opinion is
unjust so i'm happy with what tigertools did altough i
will probably be to0 scared to use it.
