Summary
How can anyone give a poll BEFORE trying the download out? I have asked this question many times and this appears to be always overlooked. This also is the only thing I do not like about CNET, otherwise I give a "thumbs UP" to CNET in general luvs. Judy PS: The only reason I gave an "opinion" is because this was not accepted until I chose an answer.
