Okay, one question then... This is the same software and EULA, Libraries and Internet Cafes use then for Microsoft Word and such? Have you ever used this software at a library or internet Cafe... or for that matter, have you ever stayed at a Hotel that had computers in the room and had Software installed on them to use? I am going to have to report this piracy to Microsoft. Actually, Microsoft does the Licensing via per machine nowaday. So in essence you are saying that employers should have ALL computers and tools (out in the shop) and trucks and other such things 100% locked up all the time. Wow, you do have a real clear grasp on Life. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, Better, Faster: Linux Use Debian GNU/Linux, its a bazaar thing NOTICE: Due to Presidential Executive Orders, the National Security Agency may have read this email without warning, warrant, or notice, and certainly without probable cause.
