The thing I found most obnoxious when I bought an EA program ( for
another computer, not the Amiga ), was that the manual doesn't mention
that it is a key disk!  The program doesn't ask for the key disk, it
just crashes!  I called and complained about that, and they said it was
done that way on purpose.

Maybe they are putting it in the same category as spreadsheets and
databases.
