I TOTALLY agree with Rubywand. I have considered subscribing to Delphi; but it 
would only be for the file libraries(I know of nothing else they might have of 
interest to me). If I could only see for myself that it's worth it, by seeing 
what files they have available, I'd probably go ahead and do it.
