Hehehe.
You obviously have never worked at Microsoft....

As long as you guys don't mind that I bought 1 copy of CM8K and have it running
on my 2 machines at the same time.( many other companies do object to this)

I tend to avoid such practices - ( not good for the software industry )

So if you guys don't mind then I'm happy

Cheers
Scott
