I have stayed out of this discussion so far...but this just hit me pretty hard. Now, who are you to say...ah, this software sucks, lets pirate it! What may be crap to you, may be the best thing in the world to someone else. I have seen some really "shitty" packages selling for outlandish prices in education. Some of them should have been bombed with plastic explosives they were so bad. But this was my opinion, not someone that actually bought the package and would KILL just to keep it. Wide amount of differing opinion on this huh? If your going to pirate stuff, why only get the crap? Get the good stuff too. scott hutinger mser001@ecncdc.bitnet
