his newsletter. I had not heard from him for the longest time so I called him the other day. Mack was there and he was fine, he just has been super busy of late and has not got enough new to write. Mack explained they had just finished up their Spring fund raiser and that has taken every bit of his time. In fact he now wants me to create a new page which will highlight images from this event. This is a fairly straight forward job but he gave me two discs of images and I am a bit overwhelmed.
The software I use is a copy I bootlegged from work. This was when I did work on my State website and I worked from home. I no longer do the State site and the State boys have taken the software back. No problem except when I “nuked” my system a few months ago I lost the software fortunately I have another copy on my laptop that I used for the same reason. I can work on my laptop but I do not do as well as when I am working on my big system. Actually, I was able to find an old copy still installed on the hardrive but when I tried to use it the software recognizes the copy on my lap top and indicated I can not enjoy the same piece of software on both systems—it's kind of a nasty message inferring the software cops will show up at my door and do terrible things to me if I do not cease and desist. I really like this software and i have most of the website built with it. A new package would cost about $400.00, which I can neither afford or justify. However, I did some searching on Ebay and I could buy an older edition for about $50.00 which I could absorb OK. I have to admit though the whole Ebay things weirds me out. I even went so far as to set up an account. The software has everything I want but is in Great Britain!! Everything looks great almost too great to be true. If I am reading the item correctly it says it will send me a password which allows me tom download the trial version which is the actual version when I make the full payment. I think they send me the whole thing over the INTERNET. It also suggests the CD will also come in the mail. Could this be true??? I just do not want to get burned. I mean what if it does not work? The seller has stellar reviews, but England? I also found a couple of vendors Stateside but now I just have to do it. It would be nice to have a good, legal working copy. The version they are selling is a 2004 edition—which is OK by me. It's not like I am proficient enough to understand all the “whistles and bells” on the new edition. So what can I loose $50.00 buck is worth the crap-shoot, right?`Hey, even at one point this afternoon I dusted off my old copy of Morpheus and found a couple of editions which would work just fine. But I just could not hit the “download” key—it just did not feel right or maybe I was just scared. What ever it is. GETOVER IT!
