I'm on a shoot Wednesday night so won't be able to attend the discussion. But please add my voice to the rest who are complaining about the copy protection scheme. I cart my machine around a lot; I have dozens of programs on the hard disk and I do NOT lug manuals around. I therefore will not purchase the Disney product, which I otherwise would have bought. I agree with you completely that guest programmers should not feel like they will have rocks thrown at them when they are kind enought to attend an online discussion. But the message is clear from the users: copy protection schemes are unacceptable and many of us will not purchase products that contain them. Pete PS – it should be made clear to him that everyone knows the problem is not with him, it's with Disney; but he should know who to relay it to.
