what, you might get some unlicensed rogue hooking it up to their
scanner? Unlicensed transmissions are an issue for the FCC (or other
local regulatory body.) They're not supposed to even be buying
transmitters if they're not licensed, right? They can't get gated back to
RF without the server login string. Which you can already generate
yourself anyway... but it needn't be part of the patch.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

the utmost respect for Roger and his work. I had a number of friendly
email conversations with him before he passed on. I'm not interested in
going against his wishes - I just don't see that the current system is
fulfilling them any more than a registrationless system
would.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=718303701-05042005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>How
about a patch program that pops up an explanation of the donation request, with
an 'I understand and agree' checkbox before applying the patch? Maybe with
some hyperlinks to the American Cancer Society, Cancer Research UK, and so
on? That's honestly what I expected from the registration website, and I
was surprised not to see it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
