I don't know about it being an indicator of anyone's honesty or not; what about situations where individuals are selling their personal laptops after being upgraded? Doesn't the act of piracy require some requisite mental state? Also, doesn't the frequently seen "Buyer must erase drive after reviewing OS" pretty much cover any loose ends? xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Ivy F., AL "Roll Tide!"
