Maybe they would all agree to participate for a small sum of money.(not from me
though)
Also tell each one that without them, all the other comercial programs
will not participate either. It's quite a shame isn't it?
I personaly don't buy any program before I see many of its results.
I've so far not bought any recent programs. Even if it is not the strongest.
but not before I have a good idea about it.
