[TxMt] Re: Texmate 2

Agreed. We do not want this checkout process to look like Real Player.  
I again go back to no change in policy.

If you want to pay, do so, buy a second license. If not, download the  
free version upgrade.

If you don't like that, paypal a donation to his email address, if  
that does not work, send him an check, if that does not work, stuff a  
IOU for your first unborn in the mail. ;)
