    Only to you, I guess.  Crippled to me means you can't use it.  For
example, the DPaintV demo is severely crippled.  You can't save or open
more than two different screen modes. On the other hand, you can use ppp.device for
the rest of your life, everyday and it will work (unless your ISP is cheezy
and requires PAP, then you're limited to 15 minutes at a time).

    If there weren't any additional features to be gained, I would *not*
have registered it.  Plain and simple.  How many people have actually
registered LHA?  It does everything that I've ever needed it to do, so I
haven't sent any money to Stefan.  Sure, I *should* register lha, but it's
way down on the list. The promise of increased speed for everything I do on
the internet was an incredible incentive to register.

    I'm going to register THOR someday, not to get rid of the requesters,
but because it's a nice package and I want to support it.  For now, though,
I can live with them.  If Asher Feldman is still around (anyone know?), $10
for a 10 times speed increase in UUxT is a great deal!

    But, by your definition, that's crippled, too, so it's useless....
