Ok, now that I got that out of my system.
Hard Drives fail. NIC's Fail, Components Fail.
People Upgrade and this Tagging process PREVENTS people
from upgrading.  My uncle suffers this Monopolistic pain daily.
He is STUPID enough to have repeatedly purchase upgraded
versions of an astrological software that Can't be moved from
computer to computer. Aggravation: Can't share it.  But then,
He isn't suppose to.  Infuriating:  Can't replace or upgrade
his computer.  He shouldn't be bound to a 466Mhz computer
by any software by anyone.  But he is !!!  This greatly angers
and distresses me.
