ALRIGHT BREAK IT UP! This forum is for paying customers! If you want to argue take it to the bar, or the landing bays.

Ooh, Venom broke the rules of Continuity

If you can honestly tell me you own nothing that breaks the copyright laws, then you may laugh...

I own nothing that breaks the copyright laws.
I own a full, registered copy of Microsoft Windows '98 OEM which came with my PC. I own a full, registered, updated copy of SuSE Linux Personal 7.3, which I bought from a leading retail store. All of my commercial software is legal and registered. I have no copied CDs.

I have a beautiful, dual-monitored, rather fast, obsanely powerfully speaker'd, quite lovely machine which I obtained that way.
