[X4U] Publisher files on Mac

[Samantha Cornell]

Randy,

You are right, it is not an expensive program, but the entire 
PC/Publisher setup is cost prohibitive, when considering that the only 
benefit that I would gain would be the ability to open Publisher files.

Maybe someday, but as a sole proprietor, I just can't justify it.

Thanks...

Samantha
