        Greg> The "purchase a spec" agreement has changed, right?

    Good point. I think the right way to understand this is that the
    purchase agreement and the $9500 cost is intended to discourage anyone
    from actually buying the spec -- for the same money you can become a
    full IBTA member so why shell out for the spec with more restrictions?

    This might be counterproductive but I don't think there's anything
    sinister behind it.
