I think it's perfectly reasonable to want to make sure the software works
before buying it.  Especially if you already have a copy.  The key words
are "... and know they'll be no problems."  Returning software is a lot
harder than not having to buy it at all.

Isn't it kind of unkind to assume the worst of this man you've never met?
