Forgive me for not knowing what _might_ be common knowledge amongst some
folks here, but what is this "warez" thing?? I guess I don't hang around in
any online areas, etc. which would have clued me in. Just a brief
explaination, please, or even a pointer to an info source. No need to take
up much bandwidth on this.
Judging from Jim's statement, these are possibly individuals who have taken
the good old, original 'hacker' expression and turned it into something
truely bad? Glad you're still around, Jim.
