For the last several weeks I have been in a hospital enviornment as I 
recover from a triple bypass open heart surgery. Recenty I have at last 
been able to again connect to the internet with my MacBook Pro.

What has taken me somewhat aback is the number of requests I have 
received asking me for copies of applications and music on my computer, 
items that one is normally expected to pay for.

Am I somewhat alone in believing that there is an honor system when it 
comes to software and music, that one should pay so that the authors 
are appropriately remunierated for their efforts?
