The $18 CD you saw is probably the full version of QB, just a previous one. I 
purchased an out of date version of Crosstalk (normally 100-140) for $20 thru 
mail order. Before you buy, check with the publisher to about their upgrade 
policy. Chances are, by buying an old version and upgrading it will save you 
mucho dinero...about 1/2 of the normal price of the new version.
Good luck.
