No such thing as software rentals?  I know of several places in Oregon
that rent software.  Games go for like $5 for 2 days and productivity
goes for $30 or something.  Its all a function of list price.  Of course
nearly everything is infected with a virus, so renter beware.  And all
the manuals for productivity software invariable have pages missing and
coffee stains.  But rentals do exist.
