Dragon, remember, you do not have to outrun the Dragon......you just have to outrun the halfling.

The one warning I've heard about the free services is that they don't update as fast as the pay services, and their servers sometimes get overloaded from people seeking downloads.

It's a tradeoff of course, and so long as you can get the upgraded files, that's the most important thing.

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.

Nail pierced hands they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me
