Tom,
I wholeheartedly agree with you. As a computer refurbisher & reseller,
I'm constantly badgered by people to include software. THen when some other
guy comes along & offers his "personal" machine as including MSEverything &
AdobeAllJunk, the buyer is hard-pressed to distinguish which is the real
deal. I personally don't include software, as it's illegal & immoral, but it
irks me to be pressured constantly by would-be customers to commit a crime,
because "everybody else does"..
