I disagree.  Since the actual software of the CD-ROM is ON the CD-Rom, it
should not be a copyright violation to vary which computer you use it on.
A CD can only be used on one machine at a time.....which is a LOT different
than loading a program like Print Shop on multiple computers which can then
be used at the same time.   Granted, the startup stuff may be on mult. hard
drives, but it cannot be used without the CD.  I'd like to hear from
someone in the industry about this.

Technology will never replace librarians, but librarians who KNOW
technology will!
