My nephew, a PC user with a degree in electrical engineering specializing in computer engineering has paid very, very little for software in recent years. He is well equipped with Photoshop, the whole Adobe package, and bunches more software, almost all pirated, that he has "borrowed" from various sources (probably not his company since he doesn't work with computers at his job and hasn't been there very long). I've warned him he's too young to get into legal trouble if he's caught. He narrowly missed the MP3 download scandal at his college by graduating in December just before the crackdowns; he was one of the ringleaders. -- 73 de Fred Stevens K2FRD http://home.stny.rr.com/k2frd/K2FRD.htm
