New Chicago Solver--Somewhat disappointed

[edgejammer]

The Isis was given to me for my birthday.
It's stunning craftsmanship, beautiful work, but the actual solution is so much less than.

I love it, and it was a well intended gift. However, we both wound up feeling bad considering what it cost, and then to discover even more fees on top of that. I am considering being a member to find out if it's worth the $$, but would hate to get robbed again.

Any advice/thoughts on membership?

understandable, but it could be said about alot of things... you get what you want out of it.
For myself its a small price to pay to have a challenge.
If you are using rent money for password credits... (don't)
But if you think your smart? And would like the challenge to prove it?
Its worth the price of admission.

Happy Birthday
