Such hostility, such hostility.

It is sad that you found your secondary school education to be a waste
of time.  That really is a pity, since there is so much to be learned,
particularly during that period of time.  Pity you missed out on it.

Regardless, pirating can not be justified solely on the basis of possibly
"learning something" about your computer.  There are ample numbers of
legal pursuits that can help you to learn loads about your computer.
My favorite sources of information are bookstores and the computers
themselves (easy when you have the Apple Monitor to go poking around).

Do not confuse defeating copy protection schemes with pirating.  The
former I uphold, the latter I abhor.  I believe in the right to archival
backups for owned, or rather, licensed software.
