Actually I find that being a Premium Member does have advantages. As more trust is placed on such members by others needing help, it becomes more necessary to be sure of one's ground. So this leads to additional research and interaction between PMs to share experiences or to check facts up behind the scenes without making an ass of oneself in public. Actually, SimonBradley (Premium Member) did just that; now he's a DVD Ripping whizzo. No harm in being motivated to become a Premium Member if the above spirit is part of your drive. Also you get to handle other people's games that they can't get working - wonderful privilege!
