OK, thanks for penciling it out in detail. The question is where  
Terrasoft is in this process now... I see they are still offering the  
advantage of a YDL.net enhanced e-mail account and being able to get  
YDL 4.0.1 :-)) Are there any last version beta 4.1's on offer or what  
is there besides the 4.0.1 version that we know and (almost) love?

Cheers,
