Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I remember hearing that you could install Office apps on more than one, but no one could ever prove it.
It used to be permissable to install the same copy of Office on both your work and home machine. But I believe they've changed their licensing to prohibit that.
Yeah, that used to be the rule, two computers, presumed to be work and home or desktop and laptop. But things got more stringent since. Though I still believe in two computers rule, like I believe in fair use of media. Doesn't affect the actual legality.
Generally? Most of the major players ignore small-scale piracy. It's when you start running the entire company on 400 machines using two copies of Office that MS gets pissed.

If anyone has a used web-schooling capable laptop for cheap (Preferrably a PowerPC Mac, but a PII+ PC will work), I'm starting to look for something for Andi's (WindSparrow's) online classes.
I might be selling my 600 MHz G3 iBook soon.
Also, I still have two boxes of stuff that I need to ship to you. I've not forgotten. They are all sealed and ready to go, I just need to get my ass down to the post office.
Heh. I know the feeling. No problem ND.
Hmmmm, ok. Thanks, all.
I gave away 6 gmail invites over the last couple of days, and I just noticed, I've been topped back up to 50 again.
I feel worried, like I'm not going to be able to avoid the gmail ultimately, and that by the time it becomes ubiquitous, I will be a dinosaur. Stuck in the tar pits.
However, I do not feel worried enough to succumb, and therefore, when they pull the trigger and you all discover that unlimited hard drive space is not just metaphorically lethal, I will survive.
Unfortunately, I will be the only survivor, the lone holdout, and I will sadly email myself from all my different and very small email accounts, until I sink, sighing, into the earth's core.
Heh.
You know, sometimes I think my worries are not like other people's worries. But I'm not sure.
I have 6 invites. - perhaps, because I have never given one away - it will always remain 6. all my gmail invites belong to me.
