You know with all of the harping about ST Pirate boards, I asked my Mac friends
at my apartment complex about mac pirate boards.. I noticed that large numbers of 
them meet in the apt.
clubhouse and exchange software. They told me that many mac pirate boards have
over 1 GIGABYTE of pirated mac sw ONLINE. So, if you all think that Sters are
the worst pirates in the USA you should call some of those GIGABYTE Mac boards.
Geez, just the hard drives allow would cost about $5,000. 

This is all second hand knowledge, and maybe these mac folks were just pulling
my legs (ouch ouch), but anything is possible. I do know that mac people swap
sw more than any others. I am glad that we have a nice quiet PD BBS for our
PHAST Club. it is nicer to be able to sleep at night w/o worrying about
pirated software!!

I do not agree with pirating. But all I use on my ST is MWC, and pageStream
these days anyway.
