Woa..Ace. Care to share exactly what additional information is being
provided beyond the outline Tom presented for us at the cost of 29.99? IF
there is additional info included in the second tape that wasn't initially
advertised with his outline... fine.. wonderful and I'll get off my soapbox.
The $60 isn't the point. I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) that
the ONLY change between the 29.99 version and the 59.99 version is that it
will be included on 2 tapes. Yes I understand it won't fit on one tape, but
THE CONTENT he advertised at 29.99 had not changed.
