View, Ca. Lines: 16 Keywords: compromise [] For those honest users out there who have been inconvenienced by copy protection, but won't pirate, there's an ideal solution: buy a legit copy of the copy-protected program you want, but *also* obtain an unprotected version from your local informal software source, when possible. Then you've paid for what you get, and also gotten what you should have had when you bought it: a program that can be backed up, mounted on your hard disk, etc., along with the manuals and user support that goes with a legal purchase. Everybody's happy, and everyone gets a fair deal. - From the Crow's Nest - Kenn Barry NASA-Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ELECTRIC AVENUE: {hplabs,seismo,dual,ihnp4}!ames!aurora!barry
