Yes, part of my ranting about not recommending 3DS was frustration. I do like
the product, but it is the first I own that has a hardware lock. Another
problem I have with it is that it takes up physical space. I have my PC
against the back of a cubicle, and have just enough room to plug in the
parallel cable to my printer. Adding the dongle before the printer takes up an
extra 2 inches of my deskspace by pushing my computer away from the wall.
That's not cool at all.
Also, on the DELL 486/66 machines we have, there is no way to set the parallel
port from "enhanced" to "normal". We just can't run 3DS on the machines we
want to, and that stinks.
