Don, >>I'm the guilty one. Wasn't expecting anyone to take credit! <G> >>The dongle will infect trivial software like drivers and utilities some day. Exactly, and it scares the heck out of me! But, you can't blame the software folks, they are faced with an endless assault on the software piracy front. Remember, the main threat of software piracy is NOT the end user, but the foreign and Domestic "Chop Shops" that duplicate the Disks, Manuals, etc. and distribute the products for resale. Now, here's a point I would like to address to the developers on the forum and the Yost group, is my idea of other vendors "Piggy-Backing" onto the R3 Dongle that out of whack? >> but I don't believe you really meant you are in favor of dongles Your right, I'm in favor of Software Copy Protection. (See what happens when you type with a sick 2-year-old on your lap!) >>It actually sounds a lot like my SPA proposal. I'M INTERESTED!! What can you tell us about this "On the Airwaves"?
