Any idea when they'll be removing the copy perversion from Flight Simulator,
and how one can tell the non-CP version from the CP version?  I'd buy a copy
if they removed the silly CP and the bogus "licensing agreement" (which they
hide inside the package so as not to scare off buyers -- but I saw there was
one because a local chain bookstore had a copy of Flight Simulator open as a
demonstrator).  (The "agreement" was apparently specific to Flight Simulator,
but contained various fun phrases like 'you have a right to make a backup if
the program isn't copy-protected' (and pigs could fly if they had wings...))

I agree.  I hope they drive Lotus completely into the ground.  Apparently in
the IBM-PC world, Lotus is one of the big holdouts for CP.  And for the Mac,
the expensive and CP Jazz doesn't look so hot when you consider what Excel +
{Word, MacWrite} + {MacTerminal, Red Ryder, VersaTerm} + Switcher can do.
