else except characters. I wanted to do this Barney or Tiger for my daughter.

5 1/2 months ago i bought intel 4.0, when the full version was shipping...
but, i got the pre-release some how.
of course I sent for the full release version.
2 days ago, after calling newtek for about twice a week for the last 6 weeks,
I received it.
