You don't have to buy from a manufacturer in order to enter a legal agreement with them. This is the same license agreement you click through if you buy a computer from PC World or BestBuy. >> I read that fairly clearly as saying "if you purchased this >> software with a USB cable, stick of RAM or network card > > FROM A MANUFACTURER Are you suggesting that it might be necessary to become a "manufacturer" by installing the system and plugging the mouse lead in & then selling it on to a member of your immediate family in order for them to qualify as the licensee? This is the first rational argument you've made, but you'll need to give it a little more substance in order to get a passing and dismiss my perception of you as a whiney little girl who doesn't know jack.
