I once found a disk in my microwave. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/22/04 11:56AM >>> But for as many people in the world that are organized, there are just as many that aren't. Just because he's not as anal-retentive as some people doesn't mean that his disks are stolen or illegal.
And too, some people just don't care where they put the disks. I have disks scattered all over the house. Ranging from Macromedia Studio, to Mac OS's, and I only know where a few of them are off the top of my head without having to dig through boxes to find them. That doesn't mean I didn't purchase them, it just means, that once I use them, I put them in a place where I think I won't forget where they are, and then when I need them it's like, "Where the heck did I put those?" If you want to voice your opinion that's fine, but don't make accusations at someone just because they're not like you.
