This is my only source of income so you are really hurting a single person not some corporation who has tons of money. Why not spend your time making money by writing good programs for the Newton instead of stealing from others? If you want some programs to write I have a list of them that I don't have time to write. I'm going to assume you are in school still or else you wouldn't be doing this. If it is a matter of not having money to pay for my programs just ask -- I give other (productive) Newton programmes all of my programs for free -- Hardy Macia Hackers Anonymous"
