He was a different Dennis. I'm that Dennis. And here's what I wrote on July
5 in response to David Fenton:
"Yes, David, you've caught me in a distasteful ethical compromise, and it
embarrasses me even now. I mentioned this on the list back on May 5. I had
capitulated back in April, when Finale 2005 was required by a client. The
client paid for it, so it was kind of a backroom deal. I still resent it
and feel slimy about it, and do work first in 2003 so I always have a
recoverable copy. But I have been bought."
(The other) Dennis
It was also this Dennis, and I am still using Finale 2003. It works
okay for what I need, and I don't do phone-home copy protection.
I do however send back those little postage-paid upgrade offers every
time I get one, with a note saying that I'd love to upgrade as soon
as they get rid of the stupid tethered-copy-protection. I figure that
since it's their dime I can make the effort to beat my favorite dead
horse.
Best wishes,
-=-Dennis
