  26. Actually, I've always believed that piracy is what sold both C64s and
  27. the Amigas..  in the first place..  Too bad, that's just how things
  28. work.

  30. (For those that didn't get that one: you wouldn't be able to sell expensive
  31. items like C64s and Amigas (when they first came) to teenagers if they
  32. had to spend thrice that amount on software.  They spent all they had on
  33. hardware, got software as presents, bought stuff where they wanted the
  34. manual or something like that, and pirated the rest)
