       Well I assume it really is -- that's what the message   
   was when I was asked to validate the software by entering the key.   
      Whch raises another questiion. Never before have I   
   ever had to "validate" a piece of software after 30 days of use!!?   
      Again --will a new disk properly install now with the illegal OS   
   non-operable and on the computer??   
      
      
    Like what?  no one seems interested -- basically , I think, they just   
   don't believe me. or don't care.   
       The FBI said I should just talk to Amazon and get it resolved.
