I agree, and luckily that's not necessary. The 888 number is large on every page of the site (except for the intro page for unregistered users). And it will be there soon too.

Agreed. With enough demand... we'll add more versions. :)

Right. That's why we made Thrilled for You as a client app that requires no internet connection. Internet is still so flakey... it's the last thing anyone should have to worry about.

If there are enough requests we'll definitely consider making a Windows version. :)
