On a related note, I just talked with the IL Dept of Rev., and they informed
me that there is currently no sales tax on software.  Unfortunately, they told
me that they expect the Guv to sign a bill making "Off-the-shelf" software
taxable.  This still would exempt Custom Software, but still...

This is supposed to take effect October 1.  So I guess the moral is to buy 
any software you are considering in IL before Oct. 1.
