At the risk of being repetitive:

	Before I shell out money for ANY piece of software, I find
out whether it is "copy protected".  If it is, I DO NOT BUY IT!!!!!!!

FLAME ON:

I will not buy a car with that thin spare wheel and a 55 mph mechanical
limit, nor an insurance policy where other drivers are excluded.

I will not buy a book printed in ink that is visible only under a
special lamp.

I will not rent a house with limits imposed in the lease on guests
staying overnight.

And I will not pay for software that will not run off a hard disk,
a ram disk, and a backup.

FLAME OFF.
