Hi George--I did it all on line about an hour ago--after normal working
hours. All electronic with no human interaction (other than myself). 
You do have to have your reg codes written on an old fashioned piece of
paper so you don't lose them when your computer crashes. But when your
computer crashes, it probably takes with it the image you were trying 
to process by deadline!

Having your essential software installed on a backup computer seems like
cheap insurance!
