There's a solution to that. It's called research.If your'e stupid
enough to go out and plunk down $600.00 for a program without finding
out if it's gonna work for you, then you deserve to lose your
money....

I don't buy a game (or anything else)  unless one or more of three
things have happened. 

1) I have seen the game and played it on someone elses system, and
like it enough to buy it. 

2) The subject matter is something I really like.( like helicopter
flight sims, ) Since the explosion of the Internet, and the wealth of
information hence, there really is no excuse for not being informed on
a product before you buy it. 

3) The product or game is from a company or product line that I trust
implicitly.For instance, Janes. I would buy anything Janes puts out
simply because I like thier depth....AH - 64 Longbow......ect..
Or I would and will continue to buy anything in the Wing Commander
Series.....

>As long as conditions like that exist, piracy can and will flourish.

As long as people think like you do, and have no respect for others,
piracy will indeed persist. That doesn't make it right. 

As I have said before, and I'll say it again, I know it goes on and
that's what's so. What torques me off is when people try to justify
it. 
There is no justification for theft. Stop trying to ease your
conscience by rationalizing it away. It's wrong. Deal with it.

The opinion of a person who can't see the big picture to save his
life.....I guess ignorance is bliss.....

You can say that again......
