Version 5 software is the point Microsoft finally gets something right. By the time they get to version 8.0 (eg., do a Help:About in Excel or Word) it becomes of case of "Who Cares?"

The important thing to see is that when an MS 9.0 release of anything eventually comes out it is simply, "Doesn't even matter anymore"

After taking the 10th undergraduate engineering math course (trimester system) I met all pre-requesites for my two advanced math electives.

All the choices still had names including you-are-an-idiot words like, "Introductory ... Basic ... Elementary ... Beginning ... Essentials ... Starter ... Early"

A real book is worth much more than a DRM controlled image.

25 years ago Borland came out with Turbo Pascal with its famous "Book License" and the nearly unheard of release-with-no-copy-protection. Treat the disk/program like a book: Give it away, throw it away, whatever. Just be sure though, like a book, it could not possibly be in use in two places at the same time.

Quite a 'novel' idea for software and for consumer property rights.
