Hi folks,

Some of you will have downloaded and tried a fairly new Japanese image 
manipulation program. There was some muttering amongst the troops when 
it was shown that the trial period is just 14 days.  

I won't write its name here in case it gives the game away, but it has a dark 
grey screen, and the initials S P play a part in the name. If you really want 
to 
know e-mail me.  Clue - were it a fabric, it would be smooth to the touch.

After 14 days as soon as you try to open a file ( anyway if you have MSIE on 
your machine, and this all took place on my son's XP machine, which has 
MSIE), it immediately tries to connect and opens a registration dialogue. If 
you play along with that strategy, and then click "Decline" or whatever it is, 
the SP program shuts down.

However, should you accidentally ignore the invitation to connect, register, or 
whatever, and continue with the idea of opening a file; eureka - you can, and 
in fact I could not find one disabled feature in 30 minutes of playing around.

Interesting, I thought.    So I continued testing :-)

Brian
