- I sent my registration with a money order from Canada, and it took two
- weeks to get the key. Depending on your bank plan, you can get money orders
- for no extra charge....just need a trip to the bank to get it. If it weren't
- for my plan, I'd have to pay $3.50 per MO.
-
- Now, I'm just waiting for my AmIRC registration to be processed (also mailed
- at the same time). I wonder what I'll be registering next....of course
- having a new toy coming, cuts into my budget for registering shareware.
- (since I'll probably be registering shareware for it....)
