Has it continued to descend to new depths of idiocy? After the "this is probably illegal, even though I'm no lawyer" nonsense, one would have thought this would be difficult.

The "beauty" of the US legal system: anyone can take anyone else to court for anything

... of course, usually it is dismissed if it is something foolish, but it is amazing what money sprinkled in the right places can accomplish...

Of course, i can't see some lawyer taking a class action suit for a couple of hundred disgruntled buyers of AE for a potential payoff of a couple of thousand dollars for a few thousand hours of work.

Im thinking i should have emailed that German bookseller now and whined about how unfair their price was for my recent book purchase. It also may not have been legal. I wonder how booked up the World Court is? perhaps they would like to look at my case......

When I got WitP, and earlier UV, I printed up the manuals and put them in 3 ring binders. They have been gathering dust ever since, and are now packed away in a box in the attic. Not worth an extra $10 for me to have to make another trip to the attic.

Download version for me.

Heh... I keep my three ring binder at my desk. I'm regularly consulting it - though most often to answer someone's question on the forum.

Boxed version for me... but that's mainly because I'm on dialup!

But, man, where do all these punks come from, and what do they expect to accomplish?

Okay, okay, sorry...
