Well...if I'm running OS-9 on my CoCo 3, or running Multifinder on a Mac,
or using an Amiga, how many dongles do I need? (Can they stack up on the
serial port? Even if they can, what if I shell out from a terminal program
while online and decide I need to use a dongle-protected program?)

If I dial my home computer up from elsewhere, can I get a robot arm to install
the dongle for me? :-)  (It would have to call me back if I only had one serial
port. :-)  All this, combined with the extreme ease with which I'm sure I'd lose
dongles, doesn't make me like them very much.
