Actually Hagar, my CFS is identical to yours and it operates with no problems. And yes, it is recognized online.
  CFS is merely a computer program and it will operate the same whether you buy it or have it given to you.
  The CFS that I have was uploaded onto the internet from a store bought cd of CFS by someone who is willing to share. In fact, practically all such software available on the internet (as well as MP3's) was uploaded from store bought products by people who are willing to share (not greedily trying to sell and profit) what they have.
  This is in stark contrast to Micro$oft, headed by multi-billionaire Bill Gate$, which is so greedy for your money that they have designed their latest operating system (Windows XP) so that after you purchase it you can not even use it on a second computer in your own home. In other words, if you also want to put XP on your laptop or on another computer in your house then you must go out and buy another copy of it....$100 for the upgrade or $200 for the full install.
Talk about stealing!!
