I am sorry you had to vent, But I must say we need to learn how to deal with copy protection, or there will be no software vendor left for us. PM CP is not even a nasty one like PACE InterLock/iLock, or M$XP for that matter!
And PM updater does not loose authorization unless your system has something unexpected. I depend on software in my studio. All the registration code is in 4 places, email, file server, Palm, and a notebook. I am sorry but I failed to understand anyone who thinks 'all set' by having registration code in email database only. I failed to understand anyone who depends on email backups only once in 6 month (I backup every week). Last summer, I performed at Umbria Jazz Festival in Italy. Right on the stage during the sound check, one of my audio software funked out on me, saying I am not authorized. I was using it at the hotel in the morning. It's a major festival. You can imagine how much I got freaked out :-) Sh*t happens. I left my Palm at the hotel. That was my fault but not the software vendors, because auth error is almost always caused by HD instability. I was quickly able to boot into OS9 which I have a backup audio system, and finished the sound check in no time (well.. almost!). CTMDEV seems to be a very small vendor, but I don't suppose it makes you feel any better. You do know OSX has PINE, right? Oh, and you can run OE under Classic, too. -- - Hiro [PROTECTED] <[PROTECTED]>
