THere was a time when Autodesk's "AutoCad" was the most pirated software in the world. It is still up near the top of that list and Autodesk finally cam around and saw this as a Good Thing. It made their product a standard and they saw that those pirated copies were not lost sales. Anyone who needed it for real work paid. I think they like this model and are doing it with Fustion. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
