It makes me mad as well.
Does anyone know a friendly lawyer? Is there any form of legal wording
that can be used so that the company can't _possibly_ be held liable for
anything? If not, then there needs to be ;-)
Haven't they already used that in the shrink-wrap license?

I've tried contacting the lastest version of CDC
and they offer no help
whatsoever. Even refused to allow me to release copies of any of their
old manuals "for liability reasons." (don't get me started!)
That makes me sooo mad.... Of course I'm the sort of person who doesn't
drag people into court for
no good reason. I am quite happy to accept the normal English meaning of
'no support', 'sold as seen', 'parts or repair only', etc. I just
wish
the rest of the world would do the same.
