See, you have PC envy now. I know you do!

Just think about all that juicy cool software you could be using.

By the way, I have iTunes open right now on my PC and i'm ignoring it. Not going to use it. Just going to let it sit there and want to be used. Until it pines away.

Lot of good questions to ask yourselves before you get in front of someone charging you $500 an hour. We found out for example:

- You can have one person manage your money and your trust while someone else raises your kid.
- You cant pick a 'couple' to raise your children, you should name a single individual in the event of death or divorce. We knew a few couples in the family would do well as a pair, but had a hard time finding a single individual we'd feel comfortable with.
- Wait until you get to the parts about living wills, medical directives and what sort of ceremony you want done at your funeral. I figured my dad for the sentimental type, but his choices were about one notch above "tie me up in a hefty bag and throw me in the nearest river".

I'm quite sure the nolo software only applies to US situations.
