I agreed.  Different strokes for different folks.  If you're looking for
something that works and move on with your business, that's fine.  What
I saw at Compass website was a very old version of WP.  Hence, I did my
own installation and it works.  I saw a couple of folks mentioned that
the WP is now up-to-date and I guess Compass should update their pkg
offerings display at their website.

Everyone has their own needs and solutions, one size does not fit all in
IT.  And I agreed that $5 for a pkg is a bargain.
