[QUOTE="highlife, post: 57049042, member: 275585"] Seeing as how my time is valuable the hoops one has jump through to find "free" stuff on bittorrent, etc is alot more expensive than just doing an itunes down load for a buck. You could chew up 8-9 hrs just reformating your hard drive to deal with viruses and at 8-9 hrs at 40$/hr thats like 360$, I will just pay my 20$ for the DVD or 1$ for a song or just listen to pandora or online radio. Now MS office or autocad thats another story, however you can always just register for a class for a few hundred bucks (since your going to have to learn how to use the software anyways) and get 1000$ software at student rate for like 100$ and then you get tech support. I have found the "free" stuff is not really free, if it takes me longer than 2 min to hunt and peck around for something thats worth 1$ then its not worth it. Pandora is cool because I can listen to music while im doing a training class or working on my Masters degree homework and if I like a song I can just click on it and it adds it to a list and im guessing I can just purchase the list on itunes in a few clicks then I have it in my truck and I dont have to mess around with bit torrants (I so hate bittorrants, the web sites look like spam and unless you have a friend that knows of the super secret ones you going no where fast). Sin seems good on the surface but it ends up costing us more in the end than just doing things lagitimatly in the first place. If your broke you can just listen to pandora and not buy the songs, heck I have been listening to it for months and have built up a like list but still have not actually bought anything yet. [/QUOTE]
