It might be an interesting fact to know but I would NEVER, NEVER,
NEVER buy a program from anyone who would not let me move the program
to another device that I might own or might have to replace with
another.
That is the primary reason that I do not buy a Palm Pilot. Most good
programs for them will only let me install it on the machine that it
was purchased for. So, if I get a new one or replace it or replace
it because it is defective, the software is no longer useful.
I think it is a bad mistake for s/w developers to put so many
controls on their programs as to make them worthless.
