Don't be so blind as to take the 'Blessed' Blizzard's side without at least looking into what he was talking about.
a lot of the people I went with to the toronto presentation had problems with their CD-Keys, as did I. When we all finally got our replacement keys, we were happy to find out that they didn't need to be activated!

"A priest without alcohol, that's the wrong combination," he said. "Jesus didn't say, take this healthy camomile tea, he offered wine."
Wow. If we had priests like that back home, I might have actually become a christian!
