Kids these days.  Why, just a few weeks ago when my old beta 6 expired, I
fired up SoftICE and took out the date-check code altogether.  Uphill, both
ways.  Tell kids today that you can actually hex-edit code to remove the
date checks and they won't believe a word of it.

Then I woke up and FTP'd my latest development version from home.

Because using a beta after its expiration date is just stupid.  You can
get trichinosis or salmonella or something that way.
