    Locate a sense of humour, god all mighty.

    There's a difference between having a sense of humour and being just downright rude. And I didn't think your post was funny. I've rarely ever seen "get a life" done in a jovial context unless done in banter with the other poster. Ask Bongledone whether they felt you were being friendly or not.

    Ehmm, don’t really care, can’t stand a grass, nor can I tolerate do-gooder's.
    I'm bored goodbye.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Spoken like a true mature adult. :rolleyes: Obviously you weren't doing it in humour then (so much for self consistency with the excuses). If you disagree with a poster you can do it without resorting to the quips and insults.

    nobody should be assuming the OP has an illegal copy, unless this has been stated. In effect we are here to assist the OP with his problem, and not to make accusations that the OP is somehow being assisted to commit a crime.

    Should an OP say "Ive just downloaded a song, and it doesnt work", do we all assume that they are on illegal P2P sites, or is there a fair chance that they have legally downloaded music from a pay for music site.

    Unless specifically stated, we are not here to make accusations that could well be unfounded.

    Marleyboy You Are A Legend!

    Marleyboy - You are, indeed, a legend.

    ....and that's how to disagree and make a point without reducing it to personal insults and being discourteous.

  • My home/student addition tells you that you can load it onto 5 machines, I think it tells you how many times you have used it too. So it may not be an illegal copy, just a used up license.
    If anything I say starts to make sense, PANIC!
