the old one no longer works. its something freedom scientific does with their
product on the cd causes this. after three reinstalls, it disables the old
code and you have to "purchase" a new one.

since I had reinstalled windows on that box twice before over the last few
years, I was about due. I did not, however, expect to have to do so on
account of a DRM routine from sony (and yes, I have submitted to them a bill
for this).

I am researching this right now. I did file a complaint with the Az Attorney
General's Office here. so far, no response (as yet).

meanwhile, life marches on.
