It is not that I don't care about either one but instead, in the tests I did on the sites I did the tests on, I saw no measurable difference.

Considering the length of time I've had them and how much they cost me initially, they could all drop 50% and I'll still make a killing. :-() > It's a wacky world, and only getting wackier....
