As was mentioned in another posting, using a rom serial number to imprint on
software makes it impossible to use software legitimately.  The DEC Pro 350
used this scheme much to my dismay.  In university lab settings, this
protection scheme is a horror.  How can students buy software when it can only
be used on one particular machine?
