I have lent the copy of the CD-ROM of the Indianapolis track to someone in my very neighbothood right now ------ seems they saw the posting here and contacted me --- by ringing my doorbell!! He knew who I was. I don't want anyone to get the impression that I will pirate this program. I mentioned that if I had a wat to send it over the internet I would ------- but I have said on many occasions that I am the most illiterate person in the world when it comes to these things (computers) -- I have to have someone coach me how to plug the damned things in. I received a message asking if I was going to pirate the program and send it and I said NO and mean it. I will ------- and I mean it ----- lend it to friends who seek the CD for their personal use and will promise to return it, and I have gotten quite a few inquiries through the grapevine, so to speak, from prople in my city, wanting to borrow it for their computer, to enhance their enjoyment of this great simulation or simulations (however it best fits here) BUT --------- rest assured, I am not gonna pirate it ----- can't 'caise I don't have the knowledge to do it ------ and won't 'cause it will get many people upset over the fact that politics runs our lives, rather than common sense. So -------- for the time being ------- as I posted in the message ------ I am allowing close friends whom I trust to have the first dibs at borrowing the program for their simulations. I guess I really didn't realize how valuable this thing really is ------ I need to keep closer tabs on it ---- as you can well imagine! Doug

> I have lent the copy of the CD-ROM of the Indianapolis track to > someone in my very neighbothood right now Did it ever come on CD? WELL, so long as you're not going to do anything that violates copyright law... What you're doing still violates copyright law. The only "advantage" your scheme has over more widespread illegal activity is that you can only be prosecuted in one state, and the $100,000 maximum per offense will be multiplied by a smaller number of offenses... Let common sense rule your life: common sense tells me that doing an illegal act with my friends as opposed to doing it with someone I've never met doesn't make it any less illegal... ---Jim
