The only disconnect from a mortgage is: Your mortgage is paid regularly
in a tight time frame and you can opt to have it withdrawn from your
bank/credit card so you *don't* have to remember. SWMA may come yearly,
every three years or in between and if you have purchased software in
between you might have multiple SWMA renewal windows.
Can I opt for an automatic withdrawal from a bank account or credit
card? Nope - There is paperwork that needs to be signed. Can I opt for a
snail mail renewal? Nope! Only email. Can I pay monthly? Nope!
The deck is stacked against the small guy who runs his/her own business
and is fighting daily survival battles. IBM assumes that you have
notifications built for yourself to remember things every three years
(or whatever....it isn't monthly like a mortgage). After missing my SWMA
renewal windows a couple of times, I put in calendar items a month
before renewal FAR into the future so I hopefully will be notified. That
is, it will happen if my email/calendar client doesn't get hammered or I
change software.....
I LOVE IBM! I love SWMA! But they could apply some "Smarter Planet"
consulting to themselves when it comes to a process that benefits the
consumer.

Shannon,
While you're at this will you contact my mortgage company and ask them why
they charge an arbitrary, and capricious, tax on me if I am late on my
payment?
