I do not know if it has cost us dollars. I doubt that Draw Plus is much use if you don't have the manual. I'm against protection of productivity software of anykind. I like the keyword system for games, and I do agree that games may need some form of protection. But a person depending on a software product for their livelyhood cannot, shouldnot be subject to the whims of a single copy. We have had alot of customer loyalty because of our stand. My original premise for our stand was that a multitasking computer has diminished value if software prevented multitasking, this is still true today.
