It depends where you draw the line I guess. I mean, you could go around
saying "I WON'T BUY A SINGLE PROGRAM THAT WON'T MULTITASK, HAVVVVE LOTS OF
ICONS AND PULL-DOWN MENUS, NO COPY PROTECTION, THAT BOOTS WHEN IT PLAYS MOON
RIVVVER, WHICH IS MY FAVVORITE SONG, AND HAS NO BLUE COLORS IN IT, BECAUSE I
HATE THE COLOR BLUE".
You have every right to do so, but there ARE plenty of people who don't
subscribe to those beliefs. I don't mind a non-multitasking game, because if
I play a game I want to relax and forget the productivity stuff.
I also don't mind copy protected games because I've never had a game disk
go bad and if it did my life wouldn't be over. And I also sympathize with
those who lose 50% of their sales to theft.
