My daughter was about to buy a copy of Photoshop. But of course it was a cheap version, not really legit. I gave a lecture accordingly.
Later, having just bought a new laptop which I needed (honest(?)), I came to move my Office onto it. It is a 'professional' version which I bought some years ago because I do small amounts of business on it and so felt I should get a proper license. But, now that I looked at the disk again, I find that it says 'only for distribution with a new PC'. I think that this is one of those truths that I have suppressed in my mind, that having gone to the trouble of trying to get the legitimate software I still ended up with a cheap i.e. illegal copy.
Plus, having noticed this while I was loading it onto the machine, I said "well, Lord, if you are going to forgive me for this one misdemeanour, please let it work". It failed.
So it looks lke I am going to have to spend a further un-budgeted £213. GRRR!
