"...however, in an UNPROFESSIONAL capacity, meet me in the alley behind the call-center. Bring Flash, hash, or cash."

You betcha.

I even had one user asking me if I could install the company;s version of office on her home computer one time. That conversation was interesting, to say the least.

Of course, we would never think of really doing this, because it would be wrong.

(Do shiny CD-R's with enticing titles written in Sharpie accepted in trade count as "flash"?)

They do to Rent-A-Center. They give people burned OS CD's.

I've been tempted to turn them in to Microsoft for that =/

tempted to turn them in to Microsoft for that

Oh, I would so turn them in! I did for a local a22h0le auctioneer who was doing the same thing - I got the last laugh on his a22. =)

But _should_ you?

"you lazy & cheap assed SOB, just go download OpenOffice and leave me alone!"

Oh my god...I have this conversation about three times a week. Of course, my version is more geared towards the stupidity end of the spectrum. My users just want to use the same license over and over and over again. We have now been forced to ban all users from being able to install software on their own machine because an entire floor had one copy of PrintShop (among other reasons).
