When I play a game I like to forget the productivity stuff too. That does not mean that I want it to stop operating. It does not mean that I want to have to go through a reboot to get back to it later. It also means that i don't want to have to hunt up a floppy or a manual or a dongle and wait for the thing to load from floppy. I want to type its name and see it there in a few seconds, at well over 10 times the speed. I sympathize with the losses to theft as well, but Cp doesn't stop the theft, so I resent it. A lot.
