If anybody moves a software I rely on to deliver a movie to the cloud with no alternatives there are plenty lives at stakes. Those of anybody around me in a 1Km radius for a start, and then several others after that.
I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for more maintenance fees, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my software work offline, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you. P.S. If you haven't seen Taken you might be inclined to take the above more seriously than it should be :p On Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 1:29 PM, Ed Manning <etmth...@gmail.com> wrote: > Crap.
