Wah. They're immoral scammers by any examination. They're suckering people into not only buying free software, but public domain materials as well! Frankly they're no better than spammers. If it was up to me, they'd be tightly wrapped in wet leather and left in the hot sun as an example to others considering similar things. They don't have customers, they have victims. g. -- Proud owner of F-15C 80-0007 http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of its kind. http://www.diy-cockpits.org/coll - Go Collimated or Go Home.
