A great example of buying something, yet not actually owning it.
This reminds me of my last purchase of one of those faulty copyright CDs that will only play in select devices, I was so furious I returned it to the shop.
This is not the way to prevent pirating. Is it ironic that it’s actually easier to install pirate software? (laying foundation for true meaning of irony :-)
Adam - the funny thing is I ended up picking charliebarlieruchi (from the rest of tiki tiki tembo) as a username and everyone assumes it’s cos my name is Charlie. :)
Scott - yeah I was pretty unhappy about the lack of license on the CD-rom. I mean it would have cost them an extra 50c to print the sticker to the back - considering Photoshop just cost about $1800 you’d think they’d pay the extra 50c to make things easy for me.
See that’s the irritating thing Cam - I may have dabbled in some cheap asian software in my backpackers days, but this was a legitimate, expensive copy of the software. It would have been easier to install the pirated copy…
‘Tikki tikki tembo no sa rembo chari bari ruchi pip peri pembo’ What a flashback! Hah! I remember reading that book as a kid …
But, yeah (back on topic): I second a widely adopted universal login. Please. :-)
Happy Photoshopping.

Although, you did just come back from South East Asia, so it makes me wonder about your Photoshop’s legitimacy …
