On       all systems, you can install commercial software only on the machines       the license entitles you. If it is one machine, then it is a single,       one, machine.              It is perfectly fair for Apple to provide commercial software. Many       companies do the same for other operating systems. Nobody is obligated       to provide their software as free. It is their choice, and no, you can       not blame or insult them for that. Just don't buy it. That's your choice       as customer.                     --       Cheers, Carlos.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
