Hmmm...I could create a list and totally bum myself out, if I started thinking about Vaporware that got me excited for a time but never came to pass. Glad you got your money back, at least! :-P Larry, I have to admit that my thoughts were the same as gjohnsonxx’s when I first read this, and then I thought about all the times I have been just as trusting; things generally work out all right, thank goodness. :-)

Truth be told, if a thief wants in to my house, or any house for that matter, they don't need keys. I'm hopeful that'll never actually be an issue.
