Bruce:
The point to start a post like this is to give a warning to all programmers in
order they look a better safeguard for his programs. I suppose you would do
something, at least to yell, if you see a truck bearing down on a guy, wouldn't
you? If you are assuming I write this to spread the gospel of
where-you-can-get-it-all for-nothing, you are very wrong. I said clearly: this
is a russian businnes they INTEND to carry to Occident, NOT yet a current
bussiness where any warning would be in fact counter productive. For the time
being I don't think nobody will expend money in a trip to Russia to get Rebel
Decade or CM 5500. Not me, at least.
