Zane replied to Allison:
Do you have any understanding of the computer
industry? Do you have any
understanding of computers larger than your Windows box? Do you even look
at the licenses of any software you have purchased? I'm fairly sure you
don't remember the days when you didn't even own the computer, you rented
it, or rented time on one.
And in the days before you rented the software for the mainframe from the
vendor, you got the software for FREE from the vendor. Allison correctly
pointed out that before some point these damn software licenses didn't
exist.
