"Mississippi flouts software licensing regulations more than any other state in the Union. Almost half (48.7 per cent) of the business software used in the southern state is pirated, according to a state-by-state study commissioned by the Business Software Alliance and conducted last year.
By comparison, New York's business are the most diligent in obtaining legal software - even though software piracy there still runs at 11.9 per cent. Piracy rates in California, home of many of the software vendors within the BSA, run at 18.5 per cent."

They made decent printers, if not the best computers. But it seems that ever since Carly took over, there is no end to the misdirection. First came the cost cutting on their line of printers, along with incredibly expensive ink and then, that wonderful merger with Compaq. If I didn't know better, I would have thought the company was deliberately trying to destroy itself.
