In my case, I don't know how to do such a wire transfer, but even if I went to the trouble to figure it out (which is annoying), I would also get charged a wire fee, like Ray mentioned. I am thinking in the range of $30 USD for my bank. Also, I would get charged a fee to convert to Euros. I would probably end up spending $75-$100 for this program, which comes with no games, no interface, no training modules, no "bells & whistles", and is improved, but not highly rated. If they had done something making it easier and cheaper, like all of the other programs, it would be on my computer now. As it is now, it's a major "pass". A pity. Mark
