Mark,

Consider something else--you upgrade your computer to a new model, but the password lock is on your
old machine. Can you trust Omega to take your word that you've moved your single copy of the program,
for which you've paid in full, to the new machine and you need a new password (free of charge). How
about upgrading the computer over a weekend and requiring assurance that TS is ready for operation on
Monday morning? :((
