[X4U] Trouble with Stuffit Expander 9.01

Once the Stuffit application FINALLY loads go under the preferences 
and uncheck the "Allow Version Checking" under the general 
preferences tab. Once that is unchecked then it will load quickly and 
normally. The version checking takes forever. Why they have done that 
is a mystery to all of us. Stunned software developers might be the 
short answer.
