No just the opposite. I understand what the business world does and how it thinks in general. I do not agree with it. The original point I was making was that users who are not paying any money should be a little more appreciative and stop complaining. This software is not available for commercial use and production without charge. It is available for eval and personal use without charge that means no one has the right to complain. -- Stealth _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
