Ted B,

Wher'd you find the $10 ?  Lowest I found was $35 down from over $120 a 
few months ago.

Don't know how or if the program could be tied to fP but $10 to $35 
might be worth the look.

Knowing my propensity to leave my mouse at customer's locations, I would 
hate to tie the thing to my hard drive without having two or three spare 
authenticators (while I leave one of them 50 or 100 miles away)!
