Well, Dale, I tend to think of computers in general as "artificial constraints," seeing as how I'm chained to one more than I'd like. <g> Here's a better analogy for you, perhaps: your car key. Now, THAT'S a dongle. You have to pay for it, too. Wouldn't it be nicer if you could just climb into the old flivver and drive off without fumbling for that key every time? <double-g> Point is, there are lots of inconveniences in modern life. Some, naturally, are more inconveniencing than others. I do tend to believe there are better software protection schemes than dongles. — Ron Legro, Milwaukee via AUTOPILOT (the only way to fly)
