I agree halfway with you Steve. It is deffinately a lack of respect
when I see people who live in the US and are "me too-ing" fro someone to
email it to them, when they can take the time, fill out a reg. card and
get it for free.

But when Intuit tells someone who lives elsewhere that they are going to
have to pay 29.95 or 49.95 S/H, that's BS, in the box there is a flyer
for "free" PQ. Then I would have no regrets about sending them Pocket
Quicken.
