I remember how easy it was to -crack- some early c/c++ based windows apps
by using Resource Workshop and deleting the dialog resource that had the
"this is a nag screen" information on it. Most c programmers blindly
called the dialog without checking that it actually ran, so just removing
the resource didn't stop the app from running.... which rocked :)
