Seriously, I hear nettle soup is pretty popular over there (at least in England, not sure about the rest of UK), and it sounds like it would be pretty good - no stinging. Don't forget to post about your trip to Dunfanaghy. Now that you've been stung by a nettle, you have to eat one!

My folks were in Northern Ireland and Scotland for two weeks, and they just returned about a week and a half ago. Today they were in town, and they showed me some of their pictures. If you haven't already (which you may have since I'm reading this post about a month late and haven't caught up to the latest post - reading oldest to newest), you should get some shots of the giant's causeway. I was shown pictures on a camera-phone, so it wasn't quite the level of detail I was hoping for. I hear another reason to go see the causeway is because it is quite close to the Bushmill's distillery. Also, thanks for putting the link to my site - I probably wouldn't have found your site otherwise (it never occurs to me to ask you in an e-mail - last time I tried I attempted "johnandginger.com" because I knew it was something like that, but I never thought to reverse it - and then I saw it in the Incoming Links section of my Wordpress dashboard).

"Cost", to me, is the license fee (in this case). "Price" is more like Total Cost of Ownership. Any TCO analysis has to take into account the potential costs of staying with the product, as well as migrating away from the product. MT 2.x's cost was free; it's price was around $20 (a bargain by anyone's measure). MT 3's cost to me is $70, and it's price is UNKNOWN (what's to stop them from charging a yearly subscription fee?). All that to say we're saying the same thing. Lux,
