I don't know if it's a firewall problem, but lately I can't complete any order at Palmgear, and the only solution they give me is to call long distance. So I shop at Palmgear and buy at Hnadango.

(but useful to some... which is why palmgear allows it, since it makes them money.) I havent seen any copied/rebranded software that survived on PG though. Where? __________________ DragonEdit - powerful text, DOC, and HTML editor.

I had this problem and found out that I had blocked the Palmgear cookie in IE. Once I allowed the cookie my order went through without a problem.

(except when they're infringing copyrights of course) Artists are entitled to mone too (but most of those aren't their own work entirely.....) __________________ DragonEdit - powerful text, DOC, and HTML editor.

Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: Osaka, Japan Posts: 795	1 - If you don't agree with it, don't buy it, don't even make a thread to talk bout it, you're advertising for them 2- Jake K those kind of photos are NEVER free: there's a guy that took them and makes a living by selling them. If you download a pic from a photobank like corbis and use it in your machine, legally, you're stealing somebody's work. it's OK if the guy is giving them for free, of course. 3- if the guy is selling his own photos, you have nothing to protest at. __________________ oooo--o---o-ooooo-o---o--ooo--oooo---ooo--oooo--ooo--ooo-- o-o-o-ooooo---o---ooooo-o---o-o-o-o-ooooo-o---o--o--ooooo- o-o-o---o-----o---o---o--ooo--o-o-o-o---o-o---o-ooo-o---o- ooooo--ooo---oooo-ooooo--ooo--oooo--o---o- oooo--ooooo-o-------o---o---o-o--oo--ooo-- o-----o---o--oooo---o----ooo--o--o----o---
