Hmm...

I'd say 90% of the software I had was pirated.

I'm my time on the Amiga I bought about 4 original games and 1 piece of productivity software (the ADPro scanner-driver package).

Since 1992 I've never purchased any software at all... I've been lucky enough to have corporate editions of all the key packages I need (WinXP, Win7, Office, etc) and also use 70% of freeware stuff.

Mike.

When I think back, I copied hundred of disks over the years, but played/used most of them no more than once - then used the disks for the next 'round' of copies. A lot of the stuff was nowhere near as good as some of teh reviews made out...

If I'd paid good money for them I'd not only be p*ssed off, but skint as well!
