Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, Chris, I was ill for a few days
last week. Paul has pretty much answered the question, anyway, yes you can
resign the same app or sign different apps with the same certificate. Prices
do vary a bit, last time I checked Thawte charged a lot less than VeriSign.

Somehow, 'security' all too often seems to mean asking the user a question
to which the user can not possibly know the answer. Take, for example, the
pop-up blocker installed as part of Windows XP SP2. 'Do you want to allow
this pop-up?' What possible answer can there be to such a question other
than: 'I dunno - is it a good pop-up or a bad pop-up?'

I'm not sure what the solution is, but I know this is not it! :-(
