- Okay, it seems as though no one would recommend MPW for use by a single human
- being, unless you are in need of some capability which only MPW offers.
- Furthermore, there is the indication that MPW is actually worth the price,
- if you really need it.
-
- For me, I was interested (past tense) in MPW because of its mulitple language
- support, but can now live without it. (what a co-incidence...)
