Again, this is not a stab at the devs, whom I appreciate very much, but it is the reality of the situation. The only problem is that my Windows license covers a machine that I no longer use, and it seems that the license is not transferable. So that means either forking out $$$ for a Windows license (Can XP be bought any more?) or using pirated software. Neither option seems appealing to me. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il |
