Off topic - Parallels price loading

[Kevin Farwell]

Hello,

I'm not about to defend Parallels, as I have my own troubles with 
them, but I downloaded a version a few weeks ago and did not pay the 
download service fee. I just looked at the web site and found I could 
buy another copy, not that I would, without the service. Just click 
the "Remove" button on the right.
