Yep, yours truly again. I thank all who have helped a 40 year PC Vet along the way.
While browsing Youtube - I ran across some kid’s postings on pirate software. The Pirtate Ship. Org I think. He ran smoothly through finding and downloading MS Office 2008 for Mac. As usual the kids loose me on occasion. This time it was torrent. What the devil is a torrent, how are they secured, and are they safe?
I can’t believe MS or any software maker would sit back and watch thousands i dl’s of $400 programs. In addition to the apparent illegality - are these things safe? (You can tell I can live the illegality). (I missed being swept up in the Napster sting by very little).
And, at last, is Leopard just another name for OX S 10.5,x ? I ask, because I have a bud whose new Mac shows OX S Leopard under “about” - mine shows OX S 5.7 (now 5.8).
One more thing. I was trying to find a Youtube downloader - and ran across some pretty cumbersome ones. Then RealPlayer to the rescue. Great little downloader which even detects downloadable videos everywhere.
