I am using it in a rather spotty manner. It's actually pretty good. I'm sure you could find a fine used copy on ebay or amazon.

Check with your local library, they might have an online link to Rosetta Stone. In San Diego all you need is a SD County library card and you have
access to a library version of Stone. I don't know how much it differs from their purchased product but its pretty good.

So would that be like me hiring you to fly down to wherever and then not paying you? They're both stealing, right?

Not to steal the thread but Manny Mota was, without a doubt, the finest pinch-hitter to ever live. Held the record for most pinch-hits until a few
years ago; batted .319 as a pinch-hitter and .304 lifetime. Did it without 'roids, I might add. Is a coach in the Dodger organization and a very
highly respected batting coach.
In the last year of his career, last game of a lousy season (Dodgers were out of it by August), bottom of the ninth, 2 out, runners on 2nd and 3rd,
Lasorda pulls the batter and signals for Manny to take his last at bat, forever. Manny walks out of the dugout, takes a few warmup swings and settles
into the box; fouls off a few pitches and then lines a clean single to right - lights out.
It doesn't get much better than that.....

I think Mike was referring to Zacatecan Mota or possibly his relatives, Oaxacan Mota or Sinaloan Mota.

Definitely! They were bush leaguers.
I remember Manny well, as I was a Dodger fan at the time. Believe Manny broke in with the Pirates organzation. I also think he broke the PH record of
either Jerry Lynch or Smokey Burgess.

i'll gladly split costs with someone to share the previously purchased software which MIGHT be loadable onto more than one computer and not restricted
to single use.....
and no, you can't "steal" air time from me. I am not a charter deal, only do legal FAA shared expense flying......and i ALWAYS take a deposit in
advance of pax boarding.
