I'm sure there are many others out there just like you who put the need of their personal well-being before purchasing software...which is totally understandable...a person needs the basic necessities to survive, but if you save a little at a time ( Its not like you have to pay it immediately but i'm sure Khaled would appreciate it though ) you can have the amount in no time to register your copy of mIRC. Just as long as people remember to do what's right and register Khaled can continue to bring us new versions of mIRC..
As far as mIRC being able to feed,water, and clothing is concerned...if that were the case might i suggest an addon that provides a sleeping bag for those poor souls who sit in front of their computers 18-20 hours a day?
