And why would anyone want ot bother trying to break the scheme? I would just buy a different package.... It's not the idea to break the protection, but not to have it at all. Besides, once everyone that has this desire to use a hardware protection scheme, what do you do with all of them if you have 20 or 30 of the things hanging onto or sitting in your computer? You can't claim that they don't take up space when they start collecting. John Jabusch
