I am a technician at an undisclosed Best Buy location and I can verify that this is the case, at least, in our store. An unlicensed version of ERD Commander will not properly boot (it is a bootable CD), whereas our copy of the software does start and displays the message "license information missing". Such was the case with the 2003 version, however, the 2005 version does not seem to work at all.

To 'quoth' Goldblum once again: "God creates flies. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates robots. Robots eat flies (and man) -- machines inherit the Earth."

Am I the only one in the world who ever watched the (brief) TV series called "Mantis"? I'd like to believe that I didn't just imagine a whole TV show. Anyone who HAS seen it, you know what I'm referring to.
