 yep... but one reason is that everyone new or without of
 computers have been hyped up with all those hyped words
 like information superhighway and think that 90$ for an
 application is a good price... 90$ isn't bad for an
 operating system (that isn't full of bugs or breaks down alot)
 but for a game??? i'd rather watch tv then to spend 40+ on
 a game i'll later think its boring or not have time to play it...
 but about 50% of the price of any computer software is just
 because of the brand name... microsoft... etc...

geee... umm.. I have NO IDEA where you got that I'm a "warez pup" from
that message..  And yes, I do like Win 95 and I have no problem with
Microsoft.  To me, Win 95 is a good product.  Its just people like
yourself who don't know how to configure it and install it right to
make it work for you..  Thats probably why you don't like it.  I
couldn't care less if Bill Gates is a liar or whatever you may call
him.  If the product works good, I'll use it.  If not, ohh well.  I
won't quit using a product just because of the company it comes from.

Write your reply.

get access to FTP's and such.. the IRC crap that most lamers use is too time
consuming..
There was something about this in a e-mag I read called Defacto (most should
be familiar with it).  It talked about how the art scene is better than the
warez scene since people don't flame and such (implying that they're more
mature).
I guess I can believe that .. the fun of the warez scene has slowed down a
bit, with all those 50 disk CD-RIPS flying around the net..
Yeah :) .. it's pirates, not pirate.. if it were pirate, it would have to be
pir8 rules.. :)  and pirate would be a person, not a group of people.. so it
would have to be (as enos pointed out), pir8's rules .. :)
