My Conclusions

[Nicholas Cole]

David,

I'm sorry you are having problems, but I think this is just nonsense.
Of course people move keys between machines all the time.  I have done
it myself often.  I don't think that anyone deserves that level of
abuse -- certainly not someone who has put years of work into a
program that is an industry standard and released it for free.
