Patriarch I can understand how you feel but there are many people out there who cannot afford the high costs of many of these software programs. Bill Gates has made *billions* off of people for software it probably cost him less to manufacture then what he retails it for. ************************************** I'm *not* a bad person.

BUT I do have a problem with the fact that I can not Buy a single copy of Windows XP and install it on each of my computers ... In a case like that I would resort to "stealing" Imagine owning a Forrest WW11 blade and can only use it on one tablesaw... Bob Griffiths Bob Griffiths |

Well sweetie when one is on as limited as a budget as I personally am and trying to raise 2 teenage sons on top of it, by myself I might add, without the physical help or the financial resources of a husband, I try to save money where I can. I think my boys having full bellies at night, decent clean clothes to go to school in and a roof over thier heads every day is more important and much more admirable then buying pricey software at the computer store. If it wasn't for the help of my father at times I do not know what we would do. If it wasn't for him I would not even have a computer or an internet connection. If it was not for him my boys would not even have had Christmas gifts or a Christmas dinner this past holiday season. Before you know *exactly* what my living situation is do not judge me. I try my best each and every day but since my heart attack last year, my best is getting tougher to accomplish but I will try until they put me in that pine box, nail the lid shut and toss that first shovelfull of dirt over me. ************************************** I'm *not* a bad person.
