[Highland Park] Do not violate software licenses
by Thomas C. Waters 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

I saw this post on the list and had to comment: > If you have a relatively new Mac computer, you may be able to take advantage of this opportunity. A few days ago I bought Windows for Mac which includes Word, Excel, Power Point and Outlook Express. At the Apple store they told me that this software can be downloaded 3 times. I would be willing to sell the other 2 downloads for $50 each. (i. e. I could bring the software to your house and you can download it.) The software is normally $149.00. 1) There is no such thing as "Windows for Mac" The software being discussed here is "Microsoft Office for Mac." 2) It is potentially true that it can be downloaded 3 times, but I'm sure if you read the license agreement, you will find that it is not lawful to re-sell the software, and there are most likely restrictions as to the relationship of the computers. For example, if it is a "family pack" then all downloads need to be within a family. Another example: some software allows you to install on a work computer, a laptop and a home computer, but can only be used on one computer at a time. I do not believe this list should be used for illegal behavior. I realize that not everyone cares about honoring license agreements. Some people download music illegally. Some people share software. I am making no public comment on this. We each make our own choices as to how we live and do business. I also realize that few of us read the fine print, and there could be no intention to act illegally, but the reality is that selling off parts of a license are most likely 100% a violation of the agreement you accepted when you opened the software. Microsoft Office is perhaps the leading office suite of applications. It is full featured. If Cost is an issue, there are other alternatives such as Google Docs which are Free, http://docs.google.com/demo/edit?id=scAA7JrQeTRYMw2gOzlHRRewo&dt=document#d…; or OpenOffice, which is also free, http://www.download-free.com/go.php?p=open-office&source=ga&gclid=COGNhOz_-… I am a "Mac" guy and have no love of Microsoft, but every company deserves to be treated fairly, i.e., have their license not violated. -- Thomas C.

[Highland Park] Re: Car Break-in
by Catherine Gutowski 12 Jul '11

We also had a car break-in, sometime late on Sunday night/early Monday morning. Although technically, it wasn't a break in because we left the doors unlocked - stupid, I know. It was actually our old pickup truck that we left unlocked, which has nothing of value inside and is barely worth the effort in checking out, but apparently someone considered it worth their while anyway. They took our loose change, and rifled the glove box. There wasn't anything else worth taking except a pair of jumper cables, which they left behind. Our truck was actually parked in our driveway that night, so someone definitely had to make a specific effort to walk off the street to check out the vehicle. I think perhaps someone IS just walking the streets and opportunisitcally checking car doors to see if they get lucky. Our car - which was locked - was not tampered with, so it appears as if they're not interested in putting forth too much effort.

[Highland Park] Ikea Fjellse bed frame (double)
by Kimberly Musial 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Neighbors - hello. I spent all afternoon putting together this bed (that I thought was a queen size) only to find that the queen slats and mattress that I bought obviously don't work. Do you need a double bed frame? I paid 49.99, it's brand new AND assembled. I'm asking same price. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80185066 Is anyone getting rid of a queen frame?? I live on N saint clair if you are interested in picking it up or looking at it. thanks, k -- Kimberly Musial ph: 412-418-4913
