Not allowed? What stopping them? Federal law? State law? International
law? God?
To most people, a computer is nothing more than a toaster. Geeks may be
fascinated to no end by EULA's but the ordinary person couldn't care less.
Not an option, hmmmm. What are the consequences? Deportation to France?

little fella. I picture piles of dirty pizza boxes around your desk.
