Kent, what about the guy who has multiple amigas?  Does he have to
buy multiple copies under your hardware protection scheme?  How
about demos at a friend's house, at a computer club, at a show?  Lots
of 'legitimate' uses are affected by the '1 copy per machine' rule.

It isn't the way I want th world to compute, nosirree.  And I think
CBM's marketing people to tell any interested engineers that CBM isn't
going to be interested in producing such machines since they won't sell.
