<p class="MsoNormal">I was just making fun of the name of the company… I really like what they have done with reaper. And I have also used ninjam…<br>

But its all good… I am down to do what ever it takes to make this thing work for us. Its a nice program and I paid for it, even in the state it is in as far as accessibility.
