[SEL] Re: Secure Pictures and Manuals

Peter,

I don't think you can prevent a screen capture. It would take on helluva 
code writer to do it, and if it was done for a PC..............

I would switch to the Mac and snag it.

I have just decided I will share information that I have. I really don't 
care if people download it for their own use. As I said the last time 
this came up, if I see my stuff on e-bay I do have an option. Point the 
bidders to the free version on my web pages. That should kill the 
auction and provide me with some entertainment. :-))
