Baffling text? What's so baffling about "Next"? Compared to the
arrow-pointing-to-a-green-dot icon, it speaks volumes about tis
functionality. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then gimme the
millipictures any day! :-,
Then again, "Get MSG" can be a bit misleading if you're subject to headaches
when eating cheap Japanese food... :-P
