By the way, I was offered a copy of SuperBase Pro with a homemade dongle a
few days ago.
The dongle's real effective isn't it??
Personally the dongle didn't bother me a very whole lot. BUt if a company
has to (heaven forbid) protect a productivity program for the home market,
I would prefer manual copy-protection. If you're going to lose your big
SuperBase or WordPerfect manual, you're stupid and won't be able to use the
program in the first place.
I'm not advocating productivity copy-protection, just saying that manual
type would be the worst of all the evils.
