One thing people have not mentioned about the latest copy protection schemes
is that it makes it almost impossible for a child to play a game without
the aid of an adult.  FOr example, Test Drive 3 by accolade.  This uses
a 3 way wheel that even I had problems with.

Maybe software manufacturers should use a one-time code when installing
the software.  Having to use the wheel every time gets crazy.
