I guess you would have to read through the blurb & look at the registration process to see what questions were asked. :D

The registration is quite involved, but one can still fake it if properly motivated. :devil: A free copy of Win7 Ultimate is very tempting, but I'm not up to the task of pulling off such a ruse. Better to let the more deserving (ie Tinkerdog) have their chance since they're the ones who deal with the headaches that come with the job.


@Techymike.....that's a really creepy avatar you got there. :eek:
