Yes, I could have. I have given my reasons for not doing so and I
stand by them.
I've also offered the alternative of offering ad-free products for a
higher price than the ad-ware. If it's money Mandrake needs, this
could be a nice alternative, IMO. Curiously, no-one ever commented on
that. And yes, to me, this is important enough that I *would* pay a higher
price.
Regards,
Thomas (who expects to get a sh*t load of mail should Mandrake ever
decide to actually offer such a product... >:-) )
