So if my Ethernet board dies and has to be replaced, my
applications refuse to run?  That sure sucks rocks. 

I'm still pissed off at Applix from the time their office suite
refused to run after I replaced my machine with a newer,
faster, better model.  Applix refused to help unless I paid for
two years of support.

I'd probably be using Applix today instead of Word Perfect and
StarOffice if it wasn't for that whole node-locked licensing
debacle.
