Good points all, Melanie, and I can see the value in this thread not having become a lynching party. My art and my software are inextricably linked and I just get very twitchy at the thought of the many late nights and the certainty people steal my work. I like my lifestyle, and that takes people paying the piper! ;-) Oh, just my own soap box: I've never visited Napster, not even to look. I'm an amateur musician but some of my family are in the business and that sort of service is on my boycott list. Probably none of them will ever become rich or famous with their music, but knowing the hard work that goes into those sounds I just have to honor that. Cheers! Mark
