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.
