    Not any more. Last month, I bought a CD recorder & it is a piece of cake
    to copy a CD. Almost as easy as copying a floppy. & the blank CDs are pretty cheap too. About 7.00 each. Software isn't safe from piracy anymore since more & more people are getting CDRs.

    I think I just hit a time-capsule. This is amazing.

    Doom is where it was at and still is, still modded and still alive and well. Good times man.
