Whoever you are...... There was a note requesting a copy of a MapINfo help file posted this morning..... (the author and I have been communicating today, and I will say right here--that he indicated it was not for him, or his company, but a friend) I responded regarding Piracy of software WHICH IS OBVIOUS --- RIGHT ADULTS???? I mean, if he has a problem with the help file, reload from the cd right? If the cd is broke you get a new one right from the vendor you bought it from? RIGHT? is there someone in the audience who is confused by these things? For those of you who are ignorant of these things there are stores in Thailand and many asian countries (and rest of world for all I know) where Software like AutoCAD, MapInfo, Photoshop, the entire microsoft software products suite are available for $10. Us...sometimes 8. Now the only problem is the copies are crummy...they leave things out. HEY but with the help of those people out there who DON't Care about whether MapInfo gets their pound of flesh, who don't care about the people who have tried to build companies introducing these products to 3rd world countries---no skin of your nose....sure send the files.... So, you did help a professor who would not spend $300 to buy a full and legitimate copy of MapInfo 5.0 use his pirate copy....feel better?.... Karma....look it up. now go do some community service. cj ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
