Come on, guys. You are talking about the lesser of two evils! I prefer no
copy protection at all! It IS a real pain having to look up the manual
everytime, and they don't even have the decency of doing a little human
engineering! The question says nth word, mth line, pth page, which is the
reverse of how you have to find the word!! That just gets me more frustrated!

By the way, I paid for every game I play, except for public domain ones, which 
are sometimes better games!
