I'm mostly agreeing with everyone else posting to this comment about the fact that this isn't a warez board. But my question is that the sole existence of this message seems to prove that there seems to be a disturbing lack of transmisson of the FIRST ideals. Think about it for a minute: isn't this something that completely goes against what FIRST stands for? Maybe this is something that I just worry about, but I think that the mission of FIRST is more to change the way people think (Gracious Professionalism anyone?) than it is to encourage people to go into engineering. We're (well, at least I am) trying to make the world a better place and it disheatens me when I run across requests such as this. Why must people have such a me, me, me attitude and realize that there are others out there. Anyone think that a request such as this is illegal and not only that, that it puts the entire FIRST organization in a very bad light? I'd hate to see a reporter come to this site and see that one of the first messages is asking for pirated software. You'd think that since FIRST stresses the whole mindset so much people would get it but apparently not......

Matt who's done ranting for quite awhile and realizes that what he said had very little to do with the above post......
