You didn't mention if you had bought it but I suspect you haven't. I would
be interested in hearing from anyone who has seen a copy of MP and to know
how it stacks up. I agree that JRT and Jim Tyson made a LOT of enemys with
the JRT scam but maybe he used all that money to write a real product?
It wouldn't be the first time a legitimate company rose from the ashes of
a sham.
