I don't know George either, and I was struck two ways about the above post. 1) George is doing us a favor by making a favorable comparison. 2) We (DCS) are all students trying to make this work, and are hurt by the possibility that 'borrowed' is not. I have never known to be subtle, that is part of my short-comings, many of which make me human.

We do indeed include a special surprise gift in each order. Listen, we are not a big corporation, with big money-wads backing us up. Instead, we are all *students* that have reinvested *all* of our shareware contributions back into Double Click Software to make the company grow and stand on its own 'two (actually 8 :-) feet.' We have spent long hard hours hoping that our 'dream' could become a reality. When we see posts which allude to doing us harm, we get upset. I'm sure if we stuck as a shareware only company that people would be happier, but we can't see doing that for everything. We have attempted to give people a package that is high in quality and user usable programs. Because we know that not everyone is rich, but everyone could benefit by our products. That is part of our 'philosophy.' After all we are students, and part of the reason we wrote what we did is because we can't afford what is out there, so we wrote it. >>> >>>-- >>> -===------===- From George Seto at Cerebral Cortex BBS System >>> -==-==----==-==- (902)462-7245 3/12/2400 8N1 24h/7d >>> -==-------==------ george_seto%brains@iisat.UUCP >>> -==-==----==-==- {uunet, utai, watmath}!dalcs!iisat!brains!george_seto >>> -===------===- >> >>Where are you at anyway? > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > > Don't tell 'em George; they'll come and get ya'. > We are not going to 'get' anyone. We have a list of *every* person that has purchased DC Utilities, since it has only been released at the Dallas WOA show (pending our receiving the manuals it will be in distribution), so, in another subtle attempt, I was trying to discern whether he did 'borrow' it, or perhaps found it in some other way than thru a legitimate owner.
