Sure. I was just pointing out that they do a not-too-shabby job of obscuring 
the link to the for-free versions of stuff. :-)  Not as bad as some, but 
they do give you the whole package for free.

Incidentally, be aware there's a bug in the Teacup code that keeps it from 
properly replacing the teacup code on Vista. I.e., "teacup update-self" will 
hang with the command window open until you type the command that it was 
supposed to run. I'm not sure why.

Well, I went in there via one of the vectors you posted here, and it was 
plain obvious there.

Thanks again for the links, they proved valuable resource.
