Sorry, I couldn't stand a reply to the question "can I sell my old, outmoded Word 1.05 to someone else when I buy Word 3.0?", except in the enthusiastic affirmative!! YES!! Sell it, if you can find a buyer!!! The legalese of the license agreement may SEEM to prohibit it, but then, legalese is designed to mean different things to different people; so, we normal humans revert to "common sense", "fair play", and similar outmoded modes. If I bought a "license" to use "X" on "one computer at a time", and decided that I would NEVER use it on ANY computer again, then it's time to sell the "right" to use it on "one computer" to someone who might. Lawyers can debate this until the cows come home, but then, lawyers are born to debate things. Meanwhile, I'll sell any software that I have and won't use any more, if I still have enough of it to make a marketable package. Sad for me, I've usually lost the manual AND the master disk, and nobody I know wants the crummy stuff anyway. Mike Casteel mac@cup.portal.com CIS 76174,2461 No clever anecdotes. Please don't sue me.
