Hi Please note that not for one minute do I condone using software that you haven't paid for, I will comment that the pirate distribution of iWork '09 and iLife '09 is possibly unprecedented.
The reason for this is that there is no serial number for the retail editions of iWork '09 or iLife '09. I have a theory... I think Apple feel that getting iWork '09, in particular, in as wide a use as possible is more important than trying to "police" pirate distribution. Whilst they don't want to simply make iWork '09 free, they don't seem to worried about people using copies. It is true that Clarisworks and Appleworks had no serial number keys either, but the online distribution using bit torrent technology was not available at that time. I get all my Apple software and hardware through the University of Sussex where I am studying at the moment, so I am lucky to have access to low prices :) Patrick http://www.patrickjames.co.uk On 23 Feb 2009, at 09:43, john.hodges wrote: > Ray, if you have a child in education, you should be able to get it > for £51.00 + VAT (£58.65) with no delivery charge… > > That’s from Apple’s Education store. > > It’s even cheaper if bought through an institution! £30…….. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
