The check is in the mail, of course I may have forgotten to sign it. Or the driver for my Proprietary Windows check 
signing machine may have malfunctioned.

I usually complain about having to buy Windows, because most people can understand that, while most people think talk 
about "software freedom", no DRM and other such "freedoms" is socialist talk, and they can't understand the issues 
involved.

If Windows were free from monetary cost (as in beer) I would be just as unhappy, but the vast majority of people would not 
understand that.

Of course I forgot the group here would almost universally understand.

The really funny thing is I am probably more assiduous about paying for what I get than most "law-abiding" consumers. 
Heck, I tried to pay for Myth, by contributing money to help cover the cost of the server for this list etc., to no avail, 
but I tried.

But I will watch my video content on the system I choose, if that makes me a "criminal", so be it.
