the feature comparison chart - says these 3 items are disabled in the
free version:

1. Print flexible reports
2. Reports can be exported as portable document file (PDF) files for use
with Adobe Acrobat Reader,
3. Store unlimited images

I couldn't find any version info on the site but they link to this page
on Download.com:

This is a household inventory app - looks like it might be useful if
there's an uncrippled version to be had.

Would someone (one of our Robin Hoods perhaps) like to check out the
Freeware app at Simtel and report back?

Crippleware I can believe but I'm also seeing *three* different file
sizes. . .

The Simtel description says Freeware and "you can print reports to your
insurance company for documentation of your items."

The developer's site says you can't print with the free version. See:
http://www.inventorybuilder.com/features.htm

The only thing I know for sure and for certain is that the *someone*
<cough> is playing games. . .
